Back in Summer, 1970, up, in New York City, there was a middle-aged man standing in a television studio. He was on the set of a nice house and being filmed as he said: "hello boys and girls, it's me your Friend, Ned Sawyer. Welcome to my house today on my Sing-A-Long Street. We shall have fun today singing outside on my street with my Neighbors and talk about our feelings." Ned Sawyer moved over to a chair and sat down. He pulled a letter out of his collared-shirt-pocket and read out loud: "Dear Nephew Ned, I would love for you along with everyone within our Family to come to our cabin for one week. ~Aunt Mary". "Gee, boys and girls, this letter was sent to me this morning in the mail. My Aunt Mary and Uncle Benjamin live within the woods in a nice cabin. It should be very nice. But I will be back in a week" Ned Sawyer said to the camera with a calm grin. Thirty minutes later, Ned Sawyer walked off of the set, drinking a glass of ice tea. There was a sign on one of the walls of the set reading: "NED SAWYER'S SING-A-LONG STREET" in capital-letters of yellow with a rainbow up, above it and black music notes.

That afternoon, Ned drove a car out of New York City and into the countryside. The Beatles sang Yellow Submarine on his car-radio. An hour later, Ned arrived at a cabin in the forest. When he knocked on the door, a young man answered it. "Dad, come on in" he said to Ned. "Ed, you and your Mother got here before I did. Good to see you Son!" Ned said to him and they hugged. Ned walked in and kissed a middle-aged lady. "Hi, Darla sweetheart!" Ned said to her. "Hi Ned honey" Darla replied. There was an extremely old man sitting in a chair in the living room of the cabin. He drank a bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey and got up, walking over to Ned with a cane. "Why, hello, Uncle Benjamin" Ned Sawyer said to him with a smile and hugged him gently. "Hello Ned. Great to see you, your Wife Darla and Son Ed here. I heard from Darla your Folks were on vacation" Uncle Benjamin said with a smile. "Yes, to North Carolina" Ned said to him. "Ah, sounds like my younger Brother your Father ha!" Uncle Benjamin said with a laugh. "I got this letter from Aunt Mary, Uncle Benjamin" Ned said to him, showing him the note. "Oh dear. That's scary Ned. Your cruel Aunt Mary passed away back in the Winter" Uncle Benjamin said to him with a shocked look.

That evening, Darla, Ed, Ned and Uncle Benjamin all sat around Uncle Benjamin's television set together. The Brady Bunch came on. "I am unable to explain this note Uncle Benjamin. But I was wishing to talk about the feelings I had growing up visiting Aunt Mary here. She was so cruel to me, my Parents and you" Ned said to Uncle Benjamin. "Yes, Ned, for sixty-nine years, I had her for a Wife. I unfortunately made a terrible mistake marrying that woman at age twenty one!" he replied. Suddenly, the cabin-door swung-open and a zombie of an extremely old woman was in the doorway, her dead-eyes were pupil less and solid-white, her wrinkled-skin was a rotting-gray. The zombie dressed in a hole-covered-dress of white, came into the cabin, cackling in a raspy voice, as her long, straight hair was covered in dirt and worms. "Great-Aunt Mary??" Ed said in horror. "No!" Uncle Benjamin said, gasping in shock and fear. Darla screamed in horror, seeing the zombie of Great-Aunt Mary. "Ah, you received my letter, Nephew Ned. I shall kill all of you stupid relatives now, like I should have done years ago" the zombie of Great-Aunt Mary said to him, then to everyone in her dead, raspy-voice. She had a shovel in her rotting-hand and walked over to Uncle Benjamin. Just then, a glass ashtray smashed into the zombie's head. She gasped in pain, falling to the floor at Uncle Benjamin's feet. Ned stood behind the zombie with a frown on his face. Great-Aunt Mary stood up with a sickening-crack of bones and her zombified-head twisted around with more sickening-cracks of bones to face Ned.

"Aunt Mary for sixty nine years you have been abusive to Uncle Benjamin and have abused our Family overall. Now, if you refuse to leave, I shall have to make you leave" Ned Sawyer said to the zombie. "I shall drag you down into my grave with me Ned!" the zombie eerily croaked in her raspy-voice to him, grabbed his tie and tried choking him with it then. As everybody else screamed, Ned hit the zombie in her stomach, causing her to gasp in pain, bending over and letting go of his tie. Ned breathed deep a couple of times, as he kicked Great-Aunt Mary in her zombified-face, causing her head to rip off. As the zombie's head flew across the cabin, hitting a wall, her headless body grabbed the shovel, hit Ned in his head with it, knocking him out.

Ed ran to where the head was at on the floor by the wall, picking it up. As the zombified-head of Great Aunt Mary cackled in her eerie raspy voice at him, he screamed and tossed the white-haired-head out the door. It landed into a pile of sticks and twigs. Ed ran out to it. As Great-Aunt Mary's zombified-head laughed eerily at him, he lit a match and set the sticks on fire. Her dead-eyes of pure white widened, as she gasped over and over. Ed ran away from the campfire. The headless body of the zombie stood in the doorway of the cabin and swung the shovel at Ed, stopping him. Ed screamed and ran. It chased him. Meanwhile, Darla patted Ned's cheek, trying to wake him up. Uncle Benjamin poured part of a bottle of Jim Beam Whiskey on him. Ned coughed and came to. Outside, Ed was on one side of the campfire and the headless zombie was swinging its shovel at him across from him. Suddenly, Ned came running from the cabin and pushed the headless zombie into the campfire. It writhed eerily.

Ed helped his dad back into the cabin as Ned held his head, and Uncle Benjamin had a book as he stood in the doorway of his kitchen. "Darla, Ned and Ed, here is a book of Voodoo that I was given by a priestess down in New Orleans ten years ago during my vacation" he said to them. He handed the book to his nephew. Ned Sawyer read out loud from the book, "Zombie Banishing! To banish a member of the living-dead meaning a zombie if they are unruly and wicked, chant these words: Carbora, Enyalla, Siha-Putumus!". "This has to work on Great Aunt Mary's zombie, Dad!" Ed said to him. "Yes, Ned sweetheart" Darla said, kissing his cheek. The zombie came into the cabin, hobbling, but now she was also a skeleton. Her skull was reattached and the skeleton croaked in a now distorted-voice: "all of you are mine!!". Darla screamed in terror and Ned read out loud from the Voodoo book: "Carbora, Enyalla, Siha-Putumus!". Great-Aunt Mary's zombified-skeleton made a hoarse choking-noise and covered her eye-socket6s with her skeletal-hands. Then the zombie pitched forward and fell to the floor. Ned slowly walked over to the skeleton and kicked its skull. It was just a skeleton now.

Everybody sighed in relief and Uncle Benjamin sat down in his chair and drank some Jack Daniel's Whiskey out of a bottle. A week later, Ned Sawyer was back sitting in a chair on the set of Ned Sawyer's Sing-A-Long Street. "Somy Family vacation was great boys and girls. It is always wonderful to spend time with the ones you love" Ned Sawyer said in the television studio on camera. Meanwhile, Uncle Benjamin was sitting in his chair watching his nephew on his t.v. As he sat in his green, short-sleeved-collared-shirt, brown dress-pants, and beige loafers, he laughed and said to himself: "yes, it is. And no one knew that I am also a zombie". Uncle Benjamin peeled off his head that was a mask, revealing his zombified-skull then.

Heh-Heh-Heh! Aha. Well, looks like Uncle Benjamin had quite a BONE TO PICK with Great-Aunt Mary. His Family did too, but not his OWN BONES hee-hee! He had the zombie of his Wife BOOKED towards the end there ha-ha.
