Comic Corner
Dan was walking home from a Halloween party, when he heard a thumping noise behind him. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. When Dan turned around he saw it was a coffin chasing him. “HELP!” Dan screamed! He ran into his house and tried to slam the door but the coffin caught the door and chased him up the steps. Dan ran into the bathroom and grabbed the first thing he saw, cough drops, and threw them at the coffin….and of course the coffin’ stopped.
I tried to catch fog yesterday morning but I mist. I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, it made him more sluggish. What’s brown and sticky?...a stick. What did the cat say after eating two Robins lying in the sun? “I just love basking Robins”.
