Forest Ghost

A forest ghost has no eyes, a forest ghost has no teeth, yet it can see and taste...

In the forest there is a ghost
A forest ghost
A forest ghost has no eyes
A forest ghost has no teeth
Yet it can see and taste
Its favorite thing to see is children
Its favorite taste is warm and sticky
Forest ghost has a hungry tummy
Forest ghost sees pictures in its mind
Pictures of children swinging and of children playing
It makes forest ghost hungry for its favorite taste
Forest ghost hides behind trees and watches with its hollow eyes
Its favorite game is peek-a-boo
Want to come and play?
Forest ghost loves to play
Its eyes are already hidden
When you cover your eyes and start to peek
Forest ghost will say boo!
And then
you
run.
