True childhood experience with a mischievious ghost.

Cover of Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)

By Jimbob1

As we observe Hallowe’en

A little poem about spirit mean

For what I am to tell you

Remember that ’tis story true

A tale from days of my youth

Yes every word is the truth

It was one late fall night

The sun had gone out of sight

Like I say a night in fall

I’m sitting on floor, back to wall

From corner of eye curtains flutter

Startles me, I start to stutter

Without a chance to sneeze or cough

Suddenly my horn-rim glasses do fall off

Like I say the curtains flutter

Earpiece sliced like melted butter

I don’t need to say it twice

But earpiece like melted butter sliced

From my ear my glasses dangle

Yet in my hair not a tangle

Without glasses I could not see

What is this that happened to me

Mischievious ghost pulled off a heist

My glasses were sliced by poltergeist

A very funny story. I hope that poltergeist put them back together again. Happy Hallowe’en, Jimbob.

Was this really true? It would have scared the doodles out of me.

I’m in awe, my jaw literally dropped as I read your poem flow effortlessly and beautifully from one line to the next.. As you know of my limitations I’ll use my phone to read more, or rather all your posts and also answer your message.
I don’t like this, I love it.
