Climb aboard, it’s very late
The bus arrives for you
Ghouls are here, to guide your way
And a ghostly quartet, too
Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside
Nothing to fear, nor frighten
Zombies make your trip quite nice
While goblins surely delight in
Watching you squirm about your seat
They say the trip is almost done
But the bus keeps going, no end in sight
Boo! This is what they call fun!

There isn’t much you can do
With a can of sardines, or two
It all seems too fishy
These stinkers are squishy
I’d much rather have some beef stew
Yet, somehow they found their way up
Onto the counter, in my measuring cup
I guess I’ll just make them
Into soup, with some bacon
Hold your nose ‘fore you swallow, Pee U

Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day
I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things
The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

Music held her in a spell
A sound that brought to life
Forgotten times, of yesterday
Her life, now filled with strife
Each note became her solace
As she played to her despair
For no one knew what she hid
Behind her vacant stare
Writing Prompt: Vacant Stare – Day 12/31
