The white, full moon comes into view,
The owls hoot and a creature begins to coo.
The children wonder all night,
About what makes this noise in such bright light.
One brave child decides to find out,
And disappears into a forest of doubt.
Another child wanders into the woods and
What is left of her are just strands,
Of dark, black, and shiny hair,
Remnants of a double dare.
A clue to the night fright hiding in the dark,
Preying on the innocents in the park.
"This horror has a dwelling!" one child declares.
"We must eliminate this terror!" another swears.
Together they march to a deep and dark cave,
To return the monster to its grave.
All they find are a bunch of bones-
Evil's whereabouts still unknown.
