CEMETERY SCENE:

‘Twas late in the evening

One Halloween

When I happened

upon this scene

Being lowered into a grave

By six strong men

Was spooky old hermit

Mr. Robert Glenn

A voice from the coffin

Filled the air

“Lower me down easy, boys”

Then chaos everywhere

The cemetery emptied

Not a living soul to be found

As the casket was dropped

With a thud to the ground

Pale, scared faces on the mourners

As their shaky legs took them away

Frightened, they knew for sure

They’d never forget this day

Unbeknownst to the terrified crowd

Another presence was there

Hiding behind a tall oak tree

Joe Jones, ventriloquist extraordinaire
