A GHOST!


Jon Crum (with his spouse)
Entered the house
His spouse
Wore a blouse

They were married anew
But his spouse was blue
Because she had the flue
And Jon was untrue,

When he had said
He had a tulip bed
(This he said
Before they wed)

"Fix me some toast!"
Said Jon. "Or a roast.
When suddenly, they were attacked by a lemur!
Jon killed the lemur with a stick from his compast heap!
"Scratch one lemur!" Jon said.
But his wife sobbed
Because she liked lemurs.

"Clean the lemur blood!" Jon chanted
And then everybody from the whole neighborhood came into the house
And they all chanted "Clean the lemur blood! Clean the lemur blood!"
And soon they had formed a mob, and raised the dead lemur up on a staff
And set it alight
And it burned in the night sky
And Jon's wife sobbed for her lost innocence
And she finally made Jon his toast
But they set that on fire, too.
And several drunk people began to dance the Macarena
Until Jon's collection of glass unicorns caught fire
And then the party kind of broke up.

But the lemur came back from the dead
It was . . .
A GHOST!
