Templeton the Sad Little Ghost

Templeton was a sad little ghost alone in an abandon mansion It creaked and squeaked sounding eerie even for a little ghost it was somewhat scary still the ceilings were so very high and through room to room he loved to fly Wondering who the portraits on the wall may be was the little boy on the mantle possibly me Templeton slept through the days and up at night he long to play Wishing that someone would come this way but each night a lonely ghost he stayed Poor little Templeton would sigh as he touched the girl's portrait ever shy One night in flight he heard a query sound a haunting lure so pure and profound For through the main door what did he see a little girl ghost singing my name is Mary He giggled to himself and laughed into a scream Mary got spooked and hid behind the dividing screen I'm sorry I scared you don't be afraid she looked up it was just a boy that scream made She giggled and laughed and flew up to him the fun they had was only to begin Exploring the old house and giving chase the two little spooks even begin to race Upstairs downstairs to basement to attic all night they stay at it Came the day they settle down into the bunk beds they slept sound Templeton was now a happy ghost two lost souls eternal friends in an ghostly mansion
