monsters i've met.

by 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 awhile.

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
