The Haunted House

Last night my friend visited a haunted house Not brave enough to join him, I felt like a louse, I stayed home and watched a funny comedy While fleeing a goblin, he sprained his knee. I ate snacks, drank sodas, and gained a pound He said zombies and ghosts were all around, He made his way through man-eating plants Had I been there, I would have sh*t my pants! I told him I would’ve died from a heart attack, He tried to take pictures, but it was pitch black, I did not care to see puddles of oozing slime I told him I’d look at his pictures another time.

It is hilarious that he was so gung-ho and now he is limping; serves him right, going when he could have "stayed home and gained a pound".
