It happened by moonlight.

It happened by moonlight,

The gut-wrenching awful scare.

She came around the corner,

And it was standing there.

She closed her eyes in horror,

Let out a mighty scream.

The size of it was just too much,

It really was obscene.

She thought she could outrun it

And make it to the house,

Before the monster got her-

(A giant hopping mouse!)

She made it to the door.

Her husband helped her through.

And then he said,"now Ethel,

It’s just a kangaroo!

Sorry folks, couldn’t resist.
