Hey, if you’re a ghost reading this
what’s up with haunting old houses?

Believe me, where I dead and disembodied
floating around with haunting options

I damn sure wouldn’t be hanging around
a dusty, boring old house

were I up for scaring the bejesus out of people
I’d find a more peopled haunt

maybe a night club with upcoming bands
and the embodied often acting crazy

but since I don’t imbibe spirits in this life
I’d probably find a better haunt

come to think of it, I’d probably float around
the planet and maybe explore other planets

instead of spending who knows how many years
or centuries stuck in a dusty old house.

Bob Boyd
