The Couple Down the Road

Did you ever hear about the couple down the road?
A derelict cottage now, that’s all that’s left.
You wouldn’t believe what’s said to have gone on.
Scandal this and outrage that.
There’s even been rumour of gold buried in the garden.
As legend as has it, their angry spirits still linger.
Remind me to walk the grandkids past the place on Halloween.
