What happens to that ghost......

A Poem by andrew mitchell

What happens to that ghost.....
What happens to that ghost
That ghosts around,
But isn't scary?

The one that stands
At the foot of your bed
And you say " Hi Harry!"

The one that throws
Things in the house,
Moving objects and.
You say" Hi Casper!"

The one that climbs
Up the stairs creaking
Saying Boo Hoo Boo!
And is ignored.

What happens to that ghost.......
That ghosts around
But isn't scary?

He retires!

Haha, reminded me Oscar Wilde's 'Canterville Ghost' at the lines- "What happens to that ghost.......
That ghosts around
But isn't scary?

He retires!"

Thanks Richard!
I wouldn't mind living with an apparition, as long as no harm comes to anyone. Did you ever see the movie, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison? Now, that was a pretty cool arrangement!

This one enlightens me, Andrew...I mean, I believe there is a spirit world. Who's to say ghosts don't exist?

The ghost
I like how you sympathize with the idea of a ghost ........ Maybe ghosts are those who have always been there but are seldom seen by the public

According to our human whims we choice to acknowledge those people
For some strange reason i saw the ghosts in this write as all the poor and homeless
We no longer see them and when we do very few pay attention and care

Love it
