The Bone
I walked through a graveyard and saw a bone.
Just laying on the ground was this bone.
No owner I saw, just a bone.
I picked up the bone and claimed it as mine.
I left the graveyard with this bone.
Just to put it on my shelf for the bone.
To the house, I went with this bone.
Then I heard a voice say,
“Give it back.”
I ignored the voice and held the bone.
Out for display was this bone.
To show my friends, I had this bone.
“Give it back.”
To bed, I’ll go with this bone.
“Give it back.”
On the shelf, above my bed,
“Give it back.”
I placed the bone.
“Give it back.”
I walked to the bathroom.
“Give it back!”
I sat upon the toilet.
“Give it back!”
I took a tinkle.
“Give it back!”
I flushed and walked to the sink.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
I opened the faucet.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
I washed my hands.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
I looked in the mirror.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
I saw my face.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
Suddenly the reflection became a zombie.
She shouted,
“GIVE IT BACK!”
“FINE, TAKE IT!”
I shouted back at her.
I went to the shelf and grabbed the bone.
I ran out of my house with the bone.
I ran back to the graveyard with the bone.
Placed back on the ground was the bone.
Suddenly the bone vanished and
I heard the voice say,
“Thank you.”
