What Ghost!

Goldfinch60



There they go again,

My housemates complaining,

Complaining that there is a ghost,

A ghost in this house.

I have never ever seen one

But they are frightened,

Frightened all the time.

Many of them have gone,

Driven out of the house

By this so called ghost.

But I have never seen one,

Never seen one

In all the time I have been here,

And I have only been here

For two hundred and ninety seven years.

              A fine write Gold.
              Yes, it's true you've been there 297 years, as we've both been around since pre-1066!

              • Goldfinch60

                Thanks Orchi.

                Oh come one! We were around when we had dinosaurs a pets!

                Andy

                • orchidee

                  Ahh yes, we're even older. 2st Century dinosaurs? e.g. couples where one is 'into' I.T. and one is not. The former calls the latter 'dinosaur!' lol. Some won't use it because of the 'daemon' domain name being too close too 'demon'. That's just being silly,

                • kitty the naughty poet

                    It's the cobwebs between your fingers and in your nostrils which give it away. And every well spooken word from your lips.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      I do have trouble with those cobwebs d a.

                      Good 'un Andy - but you know, sometimes folks aren't brave enough to tell you the truth........ BO must be a bit of a problem after....how long was it?

                      • Goldfinch60

                        No problem with BO, it has become the norm in the house.

                        as the uncultured philistine I am
                        although, not at all - hostile
                        to learning, sadly
                        this write flew way over
                        me little brain, 'that wished it could'
                        lol
                        still, Vivaldi's timeless 'four season's',
                        is enough
                        for me to listen and smile..
                        thanks for sharing, dear poet

                        • Goldfinch60

                          My pleasure Mek.

                                  Till the last line, I thought the ghost was just everybody else’s conjecture, and now I know you wanted the whole building to your self. What’s your secret ‘cause I haven’t been able to scare anyone away.
                                  Love the read

                                  • Goldfinch60

                                    Age is the secret Suresh.

                                    Thank you.
