        \n      What\u2019s Cooking?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one knows about this news.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Bobby & I, & were no fools.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If people knew what we seen & heard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d be asylum bound, is the word.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, you think were nuts already.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just another prank. Pretty petty.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth is; we wish it was a prank.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we are being pretty frank.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happened last week on our way to school.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cut through the woods, like we usually do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a shortcut to the school.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were stopped by a fiendishly looking ghoul.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It grabbed us both before we could run.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It dragged us off and it wasn\u2019t for fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It dragged us to this notch in the cliff.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost like a cave, but not as slick.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stunk like hell in there, like something died.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ghoulish thing had real rough hide.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was slobbering like Little Jack Horner.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a pile of bones in the corner.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were shaking in our boots.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It threw us in a big pot & threw in some roots.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added several other things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it poured in water from a spring.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did what looked like a magic trick.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made fire on Its finger like a stick.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It set some wood ablaze under the pot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started getting warm, like it or not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, it heard a noise and went to check.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We jumped out of the pot & ran faster than heck.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got home & told my mom we fell in the creek.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had us clean up in the sink.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry clothes & she drove us to school.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made it there  just in time too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been afraid to say a thing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to take a lie detector machine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People need to know this ghoul is out there.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put all on alert that they better beware.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the ghoul was never seen or heard of again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were glad they didn\u2019t say anything in the end.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
