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 👻

      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 Dylan

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

                  • Goldfinch60
