Carly Faye McRay

“I don’t believe in ghosts!”

said Carly Faye McRay

as she boldly walked

into the haunted house

 

Upon passing through the doorway,

she felt the air go cold

as a breeze rustled the ruffles

of her blouse

 

The lights began to flicker

and the chair began to rock;

still not convinced, she kept on

walking through

 

Next she heard some moans

and the rattling of chains;

she even heard

a clichéd spectral “Boo!”

 

“Um… I don’t believe in ghosts…”

stammered brave miss Carly Faye,

to the presence of which she 

was now aware

 

“But I just remembered something,

and I really have to go…”

And Carly Faye McRay

flew outta there!

Haha, what an excuse. :) Enjoyable read!

Anyway, the clichéd spectral “Boo!” would have sent me laughing instead of running. :)

T%hose cliched spectral boos are the worst kind for sure. Your friend in words, Pete

[Rita L. Sev]

;) Yes, I just can't stand a cliche!

So - it happens to the non-believer - I'd be like the cowardly lion out of Oz wetting myself and repeating "I do .. I do .. I do believe in spooks... I do .. I doooo).
Great laugh Rita - thanks for that

Reminds me of my 4 your old daughter who once told me "I don't believe in ghosts." To which I replied "You've better not say that.Or they might get you." Immediately she said "Help! Mommie! I do believe in ghosts. They won't get me now will they?"

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! That's great, Marie - my older brother kept me believing in ghosts almost through high school...
