I'm Skeleton

I’m Skeleton

Lilian Moore

I’m the local Skeleton
who walks this
street.
This in my beat.
Beware!
I’m not very hairy
but I scare
everyone I meet.

People quiver
when they see me.
They flee me!
They shiver
if they must walk
alone.

Oops, there’s a dog.
I must run.
His tail has a wag.
He wants to play tag.
And how he would like a
bone!
