Back in my youth I saw a ghost,
or what men always call a ghost.
The cynics scoffed; the simple sighed:
\"Maybe it\'s \'cause his father died?\"
Some said, “it’s that damn Ouija board
and all that singing, \"praise the Lord.\"
\"A demon spirit,\" cousin said,
\"That\'s not the soul of someone dead!\"
My girlfriend saw the phantom too;
was then her folks said, \"Yes it\'s true!
It must be real, she\'s in a state;
we wondered why she\'d come home late.\"
Back in my youth I did not boast:
“Hey everyone, I’ve seen a ghost!”
I knew they’d call me daft or cracked,
but nonetheless it is a fact!
