The Haunting

Now I have never believed in ghosts Until the other night This thing I saw was hideous And it gave me a terrible fright I was laying in my bed Trying to go to sleep And saw it standing at my door Even now, it gives me the creeps I covered my head and shivered And said please, won't you go away You won't believe the sound it made As it started coming my way And when I saw this creature's face It was the most frightening thing of all For this ghost that was haunting me Was actually my mother-in-law

Tut Tut Larry - you'll be in trouble if she sees this - if she's anything like my mother in law anyway! :-). K
