Those Kids: Part One

Those Kids: Part One

By: Roger Alderman

Our story begins as one often does

With those Alderman children and all that Ghost Hunter buzz

“There goes those Alderman Kids!” their neighbors would say

“I sure wish the Alderman’s would just move away”

Alexis loves to draw

Bella likes her friend 

Bobby enjoys his clothes

And Lee plays computer games with no end

They all like to challenge what they believe they know

By watching and questioning their uncle’s old Ghost Hunting show

They decided to use their uncles Ghost Hunting Tech

Each did agree “what the heck!”

They used his old detectors

To try and seek out dark specters

In a nearby field they decided to check

The field they played in often

Today held oddly contained a sealed coffin

They drug it back home to see what’s inside

Lee was fearful and decided to hide

Bobby grabbed a hammer

So, He started to bang

But that old casket wouldn’t open

Bobby just yelled “DANG!”

Alexis looked for a better way in to the casket just there

Bella set back just twirling her hair

Lee quietly pointed at the casket latch

The children now knew to get this egg to hatch

The latch was released and the flew wide

As seven vile specters raced outward from inside

The children knew they must return that ghastly batch

The evil spirits across their small town raced

Leaving the children behind and far outpaced

They gathered their gear and decided to do what they know

They set out to do like the man did on the TV show

Inside the casket now sat a Mystical Urn they then examined it each in their turn

They must trick each specter into the box

If they the chosen fail at their task what could possibly happen you may ask

Each will suffer from a curse and a ghostly pox

They have no choice but to put the ghost back in the box
