Ghost Busters

This poignant poem was written by Suzanne Kelsey.

GHOST BUSTERS

I am going to write a horror story
So I hope you are not of a nervous disposition
Because it is a rather haunting tale
Of a rather scary and ghostly apparition

I often see an unexpected vision
Of an old and decrepit spectre 
That appears to me more and more
I need Sherlock Holmes to detect her

She haunts me in the morning
Just after I have risen from my bed
The rather frightening sight of her 
Filling me with constant dread

She has started following me into town
Creeping up unexpectedly in any shop
Imitating every single move I make
I do wish that she would just stop

I thought at first it was my grandma
Who sadly left us a long time ago
She has a similar mischievous expression
That I somehow recognise and know

It is indeed a very weird mystery
As she only manifests herself in the day
In a mirror or a reflecting window
I just wish she would go away!!!!!!!
