Scared to Death

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Dating on the internet can be scary
Especially looking for a date on Halloween
Mistake made by pretty girl Mary
An unsuspecting innocent teen

Warning from parents to beware
About the kind of ghouls out there
Creepy people on the web you should care
Manage to attract kids that are unaware

Despite the warning she agreed to meet
When he arrived she lost her breath
In a Scream movie costume head to feet
The date was over she was scared to death
