Ahem...

"The Ghoul"

The gruesome ghoul, the grisly ghoul
Without the slightest noise,
Waits patiently beside the school
To feast on girls and boys.

He lunges fiercely through the air
As they come out to play,
And grabs a couple by the hair
And drags them far away.

He cracks their bones and snaps their backs
And squeezes out their lungs,
He chews their thumbs like candy-snacks
And pulls apart their tongues.

He slices their stomachs and bites their hearts
And tears their flesh to shreds;
He swallows their toes like toasted tarts,
And gobbles down their heads.

Fingers, elbows, hands and knees
And arms and legs and feet...
He eats them with delight and ease,
For every part's a treat.

And when the gruesome grisly ghoul
Has nothing left to chew,
He hurries to another school
To wait... PERHAPS FOR YOU!
