The Pumpkin Ghost

There's a ghost living in our pumpkin
and he's very, very scary.
He only comes out when it's dark.
If the moon is out, he stays in,
and plans his next scare.

He haunts my brother's bedroom,
and scares my sister in her sleep.
He opens windows in Mom and Dad's room,
then flickers the lights in mine.
I'm telling you,
this ghost just won't be nice!
