One little Banshee is looking for some fun.
“It sure seems quiet. Where is everyone?”

Two round ghosts are reading books by the lake—
“Heeey!” cries Banshee like a roaring earthquake.
The ghosts scream “Ahh!” and together they plead:
“Hush now, Banshee! We’re trying to read!”

Three hobgoblins are dozing in the muck—
“Hiiii!” yells Banshee like a wailing firetruck.
The hobgoblins jump right out of their clothes:
“Hush now, Banshee! We’re trying to doze!”

Four sleepy locals are fishing on the dock—
“Heyo!” screams Banshee like a loud alarm clock.
They jump in the water with a splash and a splish:
“Hush now, Banshee! We’re trying to fish!”

Five bog monsters are cleaning up their place—
“Hiya!” shrieks Banshee like a meteor from space.
The bog monsters tremble as if it’s Halloween:
“Hush now, Banshee! We’re trying to clean!”
