"Boo Radley: A Fantasy" (To Kill A Mockingbird Found Poetry)

The more Dill told us about the Radleys
The more we wanted to know
A long jagged scar,
He dined on raw squirrels
And any cats he could catch
Boo drove scissors into his father's leg.
Dill came up with the idea of making Boo Radley come out.
“He’ll kill us!”
Maybe he just doesn't have anywhere to run off to.
Boo Radley's stayed shut up inside the house all the time
It's because he wants to stay inside.
And yet I remembered:
Two Indian Head Pennies,
Chewing gum,
Soap dolls,
A rusty medal
A broken watch and chain
The Radley Place ceased to terrify me.
I imagined how it would be.
“Hidy do, Mr. Arthur,”
“Evening, Jean Louise.”
But it was only a fantasy.
