Monster Aboo in Halloween Night



I slam the door and jumps Aboo at you.
The house is mine, indoors I lose my mind.
The monster’s loose. “Inside I’m safe,” I say.
Aboo is near I fear, the monster seeks.

Sneaky freaky Aboo, I see now you.
Sneaky freaky Aboo, don’t eat us you.
Sneaky freaky Aboo, the monster ran.

“Are you a small bit hurt? Yes I got cut
From it, that monster named Aboo is free
And roaming. It’s claws struck me hardest here
On my small chin. Let us hunt now Aboo.”

Freaky sneaky Aboo, where art now you.
Freaky sneaky Aboo, let's find now you.
Freaky sneaky Aboo, the monster ran.

We followed its foot tracks to seek Aboo.
About steps it, Aboo, we see now you.
From grisly beast to shaggy hair, it howls
To us saying, “I love you, don’t eat me.”

How ironic that you say we eat you
When we say you eat us. “Be friends with me,”
The monster says. We say, “you are a beast
Not a flesh feast.” They shake their hands
And settle their differences in time.

They become best friends. Aboo lives inside
The basement. Aboo comes out at night time
To scare those who walk by on Halloween.
