SUMMER COOL<\/strong><\/font> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trying to stay cool
\n down by the pool,
\n sitting beside a ghoul
\n named Raoul.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sitting next to Raoul the ghoul,
\n my friends think I’m supercool.
\n They never met a ghoul,
\n much less one named Raoul.<\/p>\n

Am I a fool
\n for thinking I look cool
\n sitting next to Raoul the ghoul
\n by the pool?
\n Do I look like an uncool tool?<\/p>\n

After a day when the sun was shining so bright,
\n the night stars came out and cooled the night.
\n The sky was such a pretty sight.
\n Especially since I was tight,
\n still sitting beside Raoul the ghoul
\n down by the pool,
\n trying to look cool.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It was dark
\n in the park.
\n And so quiet,
\n except for the sound of a fark
\n in the dark of the park.
\n I didn’t want to seem uncool,
\n so I blamed it on Raoul.<\/strong>
