The Unknown Out There

Let me tell you what had happened When two children's day had darkened Home alone, fed up with Communism They decided on some Spiritism. Naughty brother and his sister Started chanting a tongue twister Shaking, dancing,twirling a spatula Air head kids called evil Dracula Goose bumps and a lot of laughter Ended session... Guess What after ?... As night descended on the "counting sheep" Fate decided to take a strange, big Leap: Radio and TV turned on Sleep, peace and quiet all but gone Colorful ceramics smashed into sand Only my brother and I knew that's Grand. Sunshine erased the real nightmare But next night I lived in despair A man stopped in front of my balcony Raised his hat, saluted me politely Do you wonder what's so creepy And why I became so weepy? I am a poet and I'm not a bore But all of us lived on the thirteenth floor... A lot of years have passed since then Thank God for this contest and pen If questions would arise please don't be shy I'm willing to respond ...and laugh... and cry. Written for the contest on Paranormal
