Never go there
over where they’re near
there is nothing merry
it’s all very scary!
All the children shake in their boots
as an owl in the distance hoots.
The front gate creeks
one kid freaks.
‘HERE HE COMES!’
‘WE’RE ALL DONE!’

He walks standing tall.
His shoulders as broad as the hall.
He wears a suit
with shiney boots.
He looks left and right
makes sure it’s all alright.
The kids cry and plea~
‘Dont come near me!’
One faints another pukes.
Oh my! It’s the SUBSTITUTE!
