I hope you enjoy this humorous little poem! =)

The Ghost of the House

The most lovely house in all the land

Surrounded by sea and sky and sand.

The envy of all the neighbours around

Were the flowers, the gardens and all the grounds.

Our lives were great in every way

We awoke to waves going swish and sway.

We'd look out the window at what could be seen:

The most glorious colours of blue and of green.

There were only two of us in that grand house

There was no one else - not even a mouse.

Well that's what we thought at any rate

For to have someone else, even a pet, we'd hate.

Our mail was addressed to "Madam or Sir,"

For "Friends are trouble," we'd both concur.

But then something happened to us one day

That made us look on our lives with dismay.

When the mail arrived, I felt like a louse!

A letter was addressed "To the Ghost of the House."

To make things worse it was received

By a thing whose death had long since been grieved.

It's needless to say

That we moved away,

And adopted a mouse

For our LITTLE house!
