GHOST WRITERS IN DISGUISE<\/font><\/p>\n

Ghost writers in disguise.
\nIn living poems they specialize,
\nsmartly intellectualize
\nspooky stanzas waxing wise.<\/font><\/p>\n

They write of riders in the skies,
\njust the right way to surprise.
\nOr maybe spiders catching flies
\nand slowly feasting on their prize.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ghost writers can be girls or guys,
\nshort or tall, most any size,
\nas long as what they write gives rise,
\nwhen in their stories, someone dies.<\/font><\/p>\n

Perhaps the Devil’s Herd breaks ties,
\nstampedes where sleeping cowboy lies.
\nScatter campfire, body fries,
\npoor cowboy gone when farm he buys.<\/font><\/p>\n

Or vampire bite elicits cries.
\ntill Helsing offers word to wise,
\nto locate place where black bat flies;
\nsilver stake breaks immortal ties.<\/font><\/p>\n

So hail ghost writers in disguise
\nwho underwrite and mesmerize
\nby overwrites which cause surprise
\nso Hallow’s eve will maximize
\nthe Fright Night plight which readers prize.<\/font><\/p>\n
