Thought it was time that I returned to a little bit of irreverent humor…

Poltergeist
 
 
Can you get a whiff of that?
Smells like death's left over scat.
 
Things going thump in the night?
Replace that old steam system.
It's a corroded fright.
 
Can you hear that eerie howl?
It's just the wind and not an owl.
Nor a wolf pack prowl to disembowel.
 
So you think you saw a ghost?
In fog so thick your mind's turned toast.
 
And then there are chains,
rattling in the dark, like the overhead light,
when trains pass by so close at night.
 
Is there something under your bed?
Or just a nightmare so well fed?
 
Is it in the closet just across the room?
Well sweep it out, here's a broom.
 
Can you suppress a mortal scream?
Heard you chortle last night amid a dream.
 
How I love that poultice… Christ,
suck that devil out… so nice.
 
There are bats in your belfry,
and scabs on your ass.
This poem, definitely,
has no class.

As always happens on Saturdays, I look forward to a poem from you, Ron. This one gave me the giggles especially the steamy pipes as my bedroom where I live at present have a pounding every night. I call them the symphony of the pipes and the complex can do nothing about them, so if ghosts do anywhere exist, they must be in my pipes, but they don't scare me as I AM FROM NEW JERSEY, nothing scares me except for scabs on my ass...:) -e-

What goes thump in the night,
was just a case of bad gas,
and despite what you say,
this poem made me laugh,
so I rate it 1st class.
