This realy old house
That was to be tore down
We had to investigate
By me and my friend the clown
Quite the jokster was he
Lets take a look
And see what we see
We started in the basement
To see what we could find
Under the second floor stair
Was something that was one of a kind
A very old coffin
A strange site to see
As we stood looking
It started coming at me
I took a step
And it came my way
A frightening sight
I realy must say
One step,two steps
Three steps four
I started going faster
As I headed for the door
Faster and faster
Around the first floor
Looking and looking
Now where was that door
That coffin chased me
A good half hour you see
When I found the front door
I didn't have a key
As we stood there
Closer the coffin came,we were in a pinch
My friend took out something
And stopped it within an inch
I asked my friend
What was up your sleeve
He said I'll tell you later
But right now we must leave
I scurried around
To the back door of the house
And stood there shivering
Like a frightened little mouse
What was in your pocket
I really must ask
He said there was only one thing
To handle that task
There was only one thought
I had to stop the the coffin
So I took out a Vicks cough drop
And stopped the coffin(coughing)

Intriguing and scary right up to the end. I was thinking it would be something way different. LOL I like the way it turned into a fun piece. Unlike some, I have never heard this before. Thanks for sharing.

Along time ago
An old gentleman had some of us kids setting around and started telling this story and had us all on pins and needles.Quite a story teller was he. WE where relieved but angry at the same time that it ended that way
