There Is A Ghost In My House

There is a ghost in my house
Frank Everts is his name.
He died 15 years ago
now isn't that a shame?
He treads my creaky floorboards
every night at half past ten
and he told me in a dream once
of how he died back then.
In 1983,
July to be precise,
he was diagnosed with cancer
caused by his smokin vice.
He refused to have the treatment
only tablets for his pain.
He died alone in my room,
now isn't that a shame?
His spirit wanders round me
at times of great unrest,
like when I'm feeling lonely
or when I feel depressed.
Goodnight Mr Everts
I'll see you in my dreams
where everything that happens
is not quite what it seems.
