Ghosts Aren't Real
Ghosts aren't real; they're imaginary,
but one thing is for sure: they are scary.
And yet, they are just a trick of the light,
or so I keep telling myself at night.
On my moving into this haunted house,
I have heard things: better blamed on a mouse.
And yet, I now regret buying this place;
for in my mirror, I'd oft glimpse a face.
My drapes would flutter without any breeze:
and one time, I swear I heard someone sneeze.
Because of the whisperings and strange sounds:
the locals won't even step on the grounds.
I don't want to live with a poltergeist:
it's no wonder, the place was cheaply priced.
And when I saw things floating in the air,
I sold that house, and I moved out of there.
Some say there is no such thing as a ghost:
but I insist, they're more than idle boast.
And in view of what that house put me through:
I didn't believe in ghosts, but now I do.
