The Spooky House

In a creepy old house, on a moonlit night,

A dark and spooky old house with a full moon shining down on it.

Lived a witch with a cackling laugh so loud,

A A witch with a big hat and a loud cackling laugh, green skin, and purple eyes with a big hat and a loud cackling laugh, living in the house.

She brewed potions and cast spells, oh my!

The A witch with a big hat and a loud cackling laugh, green skin, and purple eyes stirring a bubbling cauldron, surrounded by potions and spell books.

Children passing by, dared not peep,

Kids hiding behind trees, peeking at the house with fear in their eyes.

For the witch was known to turn them into sheep.

The A witch with a big hat and a loud cackling laugh, green skin, and purple eyes pointing her finger at a child, with sheep appearing beside them.

But one brave girl, named Emily Rose,

A girl with brown hair and a determined look on her face, standing outside the house.

Decided to enter and face the frightful foes.

A girl with brown hair and a determined look on her face, wearing a red dress opening the creaky door, ready to face the scary things inside.

She tiptoed through the creaky hallways, so brave,

Meeting ghouls and ghosts, along the way.

But she smiled and waved, turning their scares away.

At the end of her adventure, she found a surprise,

A magical key, unlocking the skies.

A girl with brown hair and a determined look on her face, wearing a red dress holding a key and looking up at the sky, which is filled with stars and sparkles.

She flew back home, her heart filled with glee,

For she was the bravest girl there could ever be.
