Costume Decisions
For three hundred sixty-four days,
Ben thought, “what to wear to amaze?”
He tried to outdo his previous look,
turn up the creep factor and make people shook.
But he’d been a witch, a ghoul, and a mummy
He’d dressed as a ghost, a vampire, and dummy.
What mask could make children cower and shake?
What frightening costume would take the cake?
Ben pondered and then with a skeleton grin,
concluded he had the costume to win.
On Halloween Night, he rose from the tomb,
decked out just in bones, Ben sure brought the boom.
