GHOST STORY Hey! Over there ! I got a glimpse of him ! Yes, I see him now over there almost hidden behind those books Naw, doesn’t look like the fella I used to know so well Well, time changes everything you know Ok but I always thought eternity would be a kinda blessing in disguise You know, allowing time for reflection away from the hurley-burley But no, I spend lotsa time still trying to figure him out Oh oh he’s moving again, it’s hard to keep track of him! He was seen in Seattle last month and now I hear They often see him in Venice and even Thailand - fast mover And appearing more and more often in unusual spots Well like father like son you know Yeah, we used to be close all right - go everywhere, share things When we were both in the land of the living Long time separated, huh? Yeah, thirty years next fall. . .and I still miss him, Think ‘bout him every day, kinda spooky Cos I figured he would fade from my memory as time passed How often do you come down to check on him? The maximum allowable - three times a year - now that They’ve promoted me to Angel Class One So I’ll probably find you down next spring wherever your son is appearing? Yeah, in March, when he’s doing a book-signing in Des Moines Ok . . . I’ll seeya then, old timer Yeah, seeya, gotta fly, hahaha.
