A Ghostly Tail No Casper On the Block

A Ghost that once lived in the redwood oak house It was shared with a little mouse The house was once dwelled by Mr. Robert Swellers, an Old man He died some say in a strange death But being he was an old man, one could say he died from Old age Yet there seemed to be a lot of rage Mysterious as it sounds, one can only be curious bound However, the neighboring houses would often hear sounds Yet Mr. Swellers Ghost wants to keep any Buyers from purchasing his home The Ghost of Mr. Swellers that his house will be left alone As a Ghost, Mr. Swellers is letting it be known But the surrounding neighbors feel very uncomfortable The fact in knowing that there is a Ghost on the block They dare not mock A Ghost that storms through a once owned house Mr. Swellers never married so had no spouse The emptiness of one’s soul A wonder that captives the behold A story fold Yet the mystery that was ever told Peace with no rest Only the Ghost of Mr. Swellers can contest Hold on too your flesh as it will be all you will have left.
