Monsters I've Met


Shel Silverstein



I met a
ghost,
but he didn't want my head,

He only wanted to know the way to denver.



I met a
devil,
but he didn't want my soul,

He only wanted to borrow my bike a while.



I met a
vampire,
but he didn't want my blood,

He only wanted two nickels for a dime.



I keep meeting all the right
people-
At all the wrong times.
