Spooky Because Poem

These silly poems trace back reasons (or excuses) for something that happened, by repeating the last thing that was explained and then giving a reason (or excuse) for that explanation. This is repeated until you finish with a ridiculous reason for the thing that happened. (The poem should be at least 6 lines long.)

Example of a Spooky Because Poem:

The ghost scared the children, because he floated through the wall
He floated through the wall, because he wanted to get away fast
He wanted to get away fast, because the children had sticky candy
The children had sticky candy, because it was melting in their buckets
It was melting in their buckets, because the haunted house was hot
The haunted house was hot, because the ghosts liked it hot
The ghosts liked it hot, because they only wear sheets
They only wear sheets, because duh! that’s what ghosts do
So, the ghost scared the children, because duh! that’s what ghosts do
