我見過的鬼怪
(閣樓上的月光) 謝爾·西爾弗斯坦
我見過鬼,但它不想要我的頭顱,
它隻想知道那條去丹佛的路。
我見過惡魔,但他不想要我的靈魂,
他隻想借我的自行車一會兒。
我見過吸血鬼,但他不想要我的血,
他隻想用兩個五分硬幣換我一毛錢。
我總是在錯誤的時間----
遇到對的人。

Monsters I've Met (A Light in the Attic) by Shel Silverstein
I met a ghost, but he didn’t want my head,
He only wanted to know the way to Denver.
I met a devil, but he didn’t want my soul,
He only wanted to borrow my bike awhile.
I met a vampire, but he didn’t want my blood,
He only wanted two nickels for a dime.
I keep meeting all the right people—
At all the wrong times.
