The Ghosts of Christmas

Gotta visit from the Ghosts of Christmas said I did not pass their spiritual litmus Ghost of the Past watched as I fell coming out the shower While admonishing me with a frightening glower Ghost of Present warned me to change my stripe just as I realized my arm was burning on the bathroom,s heated pipe Ghost of Future shouted out with glee Haha! Now you have burns of 2nd Degree As I woke up begging for a last-minute reprieve I realized then it,s better to give than it is to receive.
