Mr. Bones
by CJ Heck
I was looking up some haunted stuff
because it’s Halloween.
I saw black cats, ghosts and witches,
and all of them looked mean.
Then I saw your picture.
You’re an awesome skeleton!
I read that we are just like you,
deep down beneath our skin.
Before you got turned inside out,
did you really look like me?
I think I'll call you Mr. Bones
since bones are all I see.
Two more questions, Mr. Bones ...
through your bones, I just see air.
When you walk do you make noise?
Are you cold because you’re bare?
Mr. Bones, oh Mr. Bones,
you have a scary mouth
and there’s nothing where your eyes should be.
You're so spooky wrong-side out!
Poor, poor Mr. Bones,
it’s sad you have no skin ...
I guess that I'd look frightening, too,
with my inside out, my outside in.
