I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO SCARE

By Josie Whitehead

I'll Teach You How to Scare

'Boo!' said a cheeky ghost,
     Playing scary games.
'I said BOO!' again he shouted.
     No-one listened.  What a shame!

'BOO!' screamed the ghost again,
     As he really tried to scare,
But the cat and dog just shut their eyes
     And didn’t seem to care.

The unhappy ghost began to sob:
     'Is no one frightened here?'
The mice, the toad and spider said:
     'You’ll not cause us to fear!'

The spider said: 'Watch and learn.
     I’ll teach you how to scare.'
He quickly ran across the floor 
     And crawled right up a chair.

A frightened lady spotted him.
     She screamed and ran away.
'So that is all you need to do.
     Now run away and play.'
