Tricking The Skeletons

The skeletons had been extremely persistent 
                With their demands to be let out of the closet
                        Patrick, however, was having none of that
      And was able to placate them with a rather convincing 
      Argument
The gist of which was that being outside of the closet
      Was dangerous
                            More dangerous than sunlight to vampires
                            Or worms to fish
And so the skeletons remained in the closet 
      Feeling much safer than they had in years
