A poem about a Skeleton and his little girl

I borrowed a drugstore skeleton for a project and when I returned him I included this poem rolled up and stuck in his mouth for his owner to find.

Hello I'm Mr skeleton

They call me Skelz because it's fun

Hair and skin, well I've got none

But bones you bet I got a ton!

My life  was pretty crude before

but since that fateful day no more

She walked into my life that day

Halloween sale underway

“Look here dad it's my new best friend…

I'll call him Mr skeleton.

He'll come with me to school today

And then we'll talk the night away.”

The kids they loved me, Dubbed me Skelz

They joked that I came straight from hell

To call my fellow demons home

No more imposter teacher clones!

It was the best day of my life

and even of my death so far

Because that day was the first time

Cricket saw me really shine

Since that very first school day

We laugh and talk, create and play

Or we can just hang out for hours

Me awed by all her super powers

For one she's kind - like really nice

And if I could eat I'd love her rice!

She's funny too; I Laugh so hard

Best artist in her class by far

Her theater skills rate excellent

behind the scenes, money well spent

Her credits grow both long and wide

Oscar and Emmy wait in line

But her best power is her heart

It's super human ...wicked smart

so strong no matter what the stunt

Steadfast and true, but rarely blunt

I'm sad I was away so long

Doing the work for hearts less strong

But now I'm back and proud to be

By Cricket’s side for eternity
