FIVE LITTLE GHOSTS

Five little ghosts knocked at the door,
Then one flew away and that left four.

Four little ghosts up in a tree,
Then one flew away and that left three.

Three little ghosts drinking witches brew,
Then one flew away and that left two.

Two little ghosts having lots of fun,
Then one flew away and that left one.

One little ghost now all alone,
He got bored so he flew back home.
