“The Haunted House”

I sneaked up through the shadows
Just as quiet as a mouse,
And I peeked into the windows
Of a big old haunted house.

Seemed like all the ghosts and goblins
Were having…a crazy ball;
They screamed and chased each other
Down the stairs and through the hall.

They somehow chased each other
‘Til they all were out of breath;
Until all the ghosts and goblins
Had scared themselves to death.
