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.

    lol, sounds like a scene from the canterville to me. Keep up the good work 👻

    • Goldfinch60

      That'll be the ghost that KP says tickles her feet at night when she's got her feet out of the bottom of the bed (she'll do anything for publicity).
      It's me with a white sheet over my head, and a tickling stick, though I swoon if I use it too much! lol.

      • Goldfinch60

        Be careful where you place that tickling stick Orchi otherwise Fido may have to take it from you. LOL

            Had me going for a while Andy. This one had a great build up and when the hook came it was already well set.

              Most kind soren, thank you.

              Where do you go to practice the woo..woo? Is your place a squatter/undesirable lodger free zone now?

              • Goldfinch60

                  Let's hope you are impervious to a well directed high pressure hose ...though won't be necessary: I can just wait for today's thunderstorm to happen by... but then again, as a ghost... garlic?...nah, that's not quite right....

                • Tom C Dylan

                  Absolutely brilliant, and just the perfect ending. Love it!

                  • Goldfinch60
