Ectoplasm

When I first saw the
ectoplasm,
I was startled at first,
Then I remembered,
I drive an old hearse

Maybe there's a way,
to make this thing pay,
So what do you say?
Give advise, if you may...

So I conceived of a plan,
Daring for any man...

I got a fire extinguisher
Whose foam was like cold  ice,
When he next appeared,
I used this device...
I packed him in a cooler,
filled with dry ice...

Brought him home, and
into the freezer,
Space was quite tight,
I really hadd'a squeeze her...

Now anytime I need a ghost,
Like unwanted guests,
for an unhappy host,
I'll let my spirit thaw and 
rise to the occasion,
In hopes their fright
will be as strong,
As it'd take to change
a black, to one 
scared caucasian.
