The Ghost of Dr Seuss

I woke up from the house of dead... Awakened by some noise I heard the sounds of two young children... Playing with their toys Alone I live here by myself... In my single bedroom house I moved here seven years ago... When death had stole my spouse The noise was coming from my attic... So I looked to see what I could find When I opened up my ceiling hatch... The sight had blown my mind It was an elderly man reading a book... Hanging from a noose So I slammed the door and ran like hell... It was the ghost of Dr. Seuss Ghost Poetry Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward 2/20/21

Now, after the cancellation of 6 of the Doctor's books, this really looks prescient, Charlie! You got ESP?! lol. ~ Rhett Roe Active-Lee

Charlie, spoooky poem for the contest but with a fun side and I like this line, "So I slammed the door and ran like hell..." because that is exactly what I would do _Constance

Whoa! Dr. Suess is a favorite to many, including myself, which makes this all the more entertaining.
