The Dead Ghosts Society.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The Dead Ghosts Society.
Welcome everyone!
Glad you could all come!
I see some have just appeared
while others have floated in.
Each had their own vernacular.
"How did you get here Sir?"
"By rope."
"and you, miss? How did you get here?"
"By drowning."
" What about you Madam?"
" Cancer!"
" and you, old man?"
" Bullet!"
" and yes!" What about you Sir at the back of the room."
"How did you get here?"
" By natural causes!"
" Well I never!"
" That's so rare."
"How was it?"

Hahaha I laughed so hard at the reaction to the ghost that died of "natural causes" -- there are so many ways to die these days that it would probably be an interesting statistic to find out the percentage of people who do die from natural causes...
