The roast was haunted,

Yes it had it’s own ghost,

If prior to dinner we did not toast,

The ghost in the roast,

Did not allow us to, about dinner, boast…

Have you ever had your roast,

Just get up and walk over to the toast,

Should have just left it bread,

Or so the roast already said…

We bought our roast on the coast,

Was this the reason it was haunted?

We did not know, so we remained undaunted,

We kept it quiet; never did we flaunt it…
