Example 1: The Skeleton at the Office
There once was a skeleton at the office,
Who worked with a smile and a scoff.
He worked with such speed and efficiency,
That everyone just called him “Skelly”!
He worked late into the night,
And always got his work done right.
He was always the top of the class,
And no one could ever challenge his task!
But one day, the skeleton at the office
Disappeared without a trace.
No one knew what happened to him,
But his work was still done with efficiency and grace.
Example 2: The Skeleton on the Road
There once was a skeleton on the road,
Who stopped to chat with the living folk.
He said, “I’m just visiting, you see,
From the afterlife, come to visit thee!”
He said he was on a long journey,
Travelling from the other side.
He said he was searching for something,
But he never said what it was he’d find.
But he stopped to chat with many,
And shared some stories both sad and funny.
He was a welcomed stranger on the road,
And gave everyone a little hope.
