“Skeleton Bell Gets New Home”
~
There once was an old lady, Skeleton Bell;
Lost her brain making a wish in the wishing well.
Looking for luck, she got her foot stuck;
When the thunder boomed, lightning struck.
~
It was no matter, she couldn’t complain;
All because she had lost her brain.
Being alone on Halloween night;
Gave Bell an evening of horrible fright.
~
Until she saw a young girl, and asked, “Who are you?”
“Can you find my brain, or buy me one new?”
No one could hear Skeleton Bell speak.
Not a sound, or even, a baby squeak.
~
Yet a little girl saw poor Bell just lying there;
Picked her up and gave her care.
Hung her at the front door of her home.
Thinking out loud, “Now I’m not alone.”
