Ghost Writer

I just can't escape my fate I guess I was born to write I've joined the realm of rattling chains...( applies oil to chains ) And things that go bump in the night...( bump! ) A different dimension is now my home And I can even walk through walls...( see? ) I'm cursed to write these funny poems While walking and haunting your halls... ( trips over chair ) Now, I don't wear a sheet on my head... ( place ghostly moaning sound here ) That's simply not who I am... ( rattles chains! ) I'm something like an apparition For I'm no longer a man I dare you to read my poems As I beckon from the grave... ( boo ) I'll poison you with my funny lines Til you brains I shall enslave... ( coughs ) I've now become the Ghost Writer The one you knew has vanished...( Where'd I go? ) So I'll haunt you with my ghostly verse Til one day I'm finally banished...( The End )

Oh! Wait! The sequence of this writer's last three poems appears to indicate that he finally succeeded in his suicide attempts. Darn that rascal. I'm happy that his spirit has not died. I 'm happy that this friendly ghost walks the halls of Poetry Soup.

I'm addicted to the poison and I get the jitters from craving more. There's nothing like the next fix. Ahhhhh! Thanks, I needed that!
