Said the Shadow

Said the shadow
I am always crawling behind you.
look carefully!
I am a ghost!
I am yours!
no! I am his, hers, theirs.
Did I scare you?
No ---oo!
I just pull the pee out of you.

This is light free verse with a smile, Al :) Every time I notice my shadow following me I make a quick 180 degree turn and catch him in the act:) // paul
