The ghosts are outside
Whipping around house-corners.
I opened the window to ask one in
But, scared, it flew away.
Ghosts are knocking at my roof
Anxious to haunt the attic.
Silly ghouls – just come in!
You needn’t tear the rafters.
Ghosts are in my lap, my books.
Ghosts I chased with other folks should
Return to window tapping;
Be friendly to me again.
