A GHOST CALLED MARY

A word bank challenge

 

This morning while eating my toast
I think I saw a GHOST
I didn't find it particularly SCARY
till he said to me his name was Mary

He apologised for my TRAUMA
Which made me feel a bit calmer
I have after all seen a ghost before
what with having a HAUNTED HOUSE next door

He told me a tale of MURDER and MAYHEM
and some beings he referred to as them
One of them he said was a VAMPIRE
Now I knew he was a LIAR!

He sensed I did not believe his story
so he told me another that was fairly gory
A tale of a MANIAC and lots of BLOOD
and folk who were up to no good

Some kids knocked at the door for TRICK-OR -TREAT
Mary sneered and said it was all a cheat
I threw a bucket of water at the kids
then studied Mary through raised eyelids

How much was true and how much had he lied
and why was he so TERRIFIED?
ASYLUM was what Mary sought
At least that is what I thought

I bid Mary good night
and he left in obvious fright
Who was he or was it she?
I suppose that will stay a MYSTERY

I envy you I can do nothing with word challanges they leave me cold. I have been invited to attempt a few but I always draw a blank. A word or sometimes a sentence ot a song lyric plants an idea in my head but word banks scare the heck ouuta me Great job yoy did here Chris I applaude and your very sucessful effort.
