Ghosts

I've never been one to boast
But I've never been afraid of ghosts
I see no need for alarm
Ghosts can do you no harm
Its the living who hurt you the most.

Nice, John! I gotta say, I enjoy a good limerick. They're the Rodney Dangerfield of poetry, but the most fun to write!

Cheers Jeff, I wouldn't mind coming up with one or two one liners as good as the late Rodney Dangerfield.
