My Zombie Friend
Step 1
My name is Emily Marie Lynn McGoo
I’ll tell you a story, I promise it’s true.
I used to get teased at my school each day,
Before my new friend chased the bullies away.
He’s never too busy to play hide and seek,
Or to help me go fishing in Hannigan’s Creek.
I’m afraid that my Mother will send him away,
Can he sleep at your house? Well, what do you say?
He won’t be much trouble, I’ll keep him in line,
If you keep your dog hidden, it will all be just fine.

He’s never too busy to play hide and seek,
Or to help me go fishing in Hannigan’s Creek.
We might go to the park, or spin in the sun,
Or I braid his armpits, now THAT is some fun!
The only thing is, when it’s time for a treat,
He always wants terribly gross things to eat.
At first it was mud pies and boogers and stuff.
Then he ate some worms, but that wasn’t enough.
He ate my friend’s dog, and a whole flock of geese,
And my big sister Sarah (he said she was a feast!)
I’m afraid that my Mother will send him away,
Can he sleep at your house? Well, what do you say?
He won’t be much trouble, I’ll keep him in line,
If you keep your dog hidden, it will all be just fine.
Oh wait! Never mind, Mom’s no longer a care,
I’m sure it’s okay – all that’s left is her hair!

Love the voice of the narrator.
