where he saw the Goblin last

Until he glimpsed a gruesome face

Approaching now his hiding place

A Zombie with dark sunken eyes

That looked a little bit surprised

To see brave Chad
alone at night

He realized something was not right

The Zombie crept toward little Chad

Who sorely missed his mom and dad

Such fear he felt, so scared he looked

He knew his little goose was cooked.

Without a word the Zombie placed

A rotting finger near its face

And lightly laid the gnarled tip

Against his ragged upper lip

He whispered, "Hush-up boy! Be quiet! Sit still!

Or you'll be IT, you surely will!"

As soon as these words had been spoken

Chad felt as if a spell were broken

What does he mean, this fiendish freak

Is this some kind of Zombie-speak?

Before young Chad
could further ponder

The Troll toward him began to wander

Zombie pressed him, "Quick, make haste

And leave behind your hiding place!

"Just follow me lest we be caught

Into the crypt you must be brought!"

Instead without a second thought

Chad though to flee that cursed spot

Where Spirit, Goblin, Zombie, Troll

Conspired to snatch his mortal soul.

As Zombie rushed off toward the crypt

Chad turned to flee, instead he tripped

And fell headlong into a hole

Bout six feet deep and black as coal

A grave dug fresh the day before

To bury Old Man Overmore

Would now this pit, this trap, this space

Became
Chad's final resting place?

Strange voices rose above his head

Like grunts and groaning of the dead

As they approached the earthen pen

To seize their victim trapped within

Chad edged into a corner spot

The damp air cool, his breath felt hot

Forcing up his gaze he spied

No where to run, no place to hide.

Because
Chad
grew up in a cave

He normally could be quite brave

But now he felt a rush of fear

The jig was up, the end is near.
