Drinking with the ghosts

I will say from the start,

 most of them are very polite.

They are glad to feel a touch of life.

Sit with you,

 and maybe tell their stories.

Also,

 they don't drink very much.

Easy on the party budget.

At this point,

 the gargoyles are giving me a look.

Hard to blame them.

Imagine how irritating it is to hold the same pose,

  and you can't even scratch til the sun sets.

So,

 I am drinking with the ghosts,

   and the gargoyles.

Hyde is on a six month ban.

  Long story.

Now,

 If I could get the damn bird to settle down.

Peace and quiet?

Sadly, 

  I feel it will be nevermore.

Author's Note

I doubt Poe or Stevenson will appreciate this attempt of humor.
They can complain next time.

I have been asked if I believe in ghosts. I can't say one way or another. I have been in places where it didn't feel normal. Still, I have no concrete proof. I also don't have anything proving they don't exist.
Thank you for the story.

Ah, I think I see the problem here Jon. Mixing your spirits at parties will never end well :)
Ps...yes, I know I should be barred for such a terrible pun. :)

[Jon Roggie]

Considering some of the lines I have wrote, I doubt you have reached the point of being barred, merely forced to be the designated driver!

[Chris Shaw]

Well I saw the humour Jon and enjoyed it. I have to say my mind wandered and I started to imagine your ghosts as drinkers:))

Margie wanted some Halloween stories, so I decided to start with a light one!

[Chris Shaw]

Yep. She's started her Halloween early this year :))

[Jon Roggie]

I can't blame her. The Christmas ornaments are already sneaking into the stores.

[Chris Shaw]

They have here as well. September and Christmas decorations already :)
