Carly Faye McRay

“I don’t believe in ghosts!”

said Carly Faye McRay

as she boldly walked

into the haunted house

 

Upon passing through the doorway,

she felt the air go cold

as a breeze rustled the ruffles

of her blouse

 

The lights began to flicker

and the chair began to rock;

still not convinced, she kept on

walking through

 

Next she heard some moans

and the rattling of chains;

she even heard

a clichéd spectral “Boo!”

 

“Um… I don’t believe in ghosts…”

stammered brave miss Carly Faye,

to the presence of which she 

was now aware

 

“But I just remembered something,

and I really have to go…”

And Carly Faye McRay

flew outta there!

Funny, I can picture the old cartoons where the lady runs so fast her hair pins are left spinning in the air. Nice one Rita.

From "brave" miss Carly Faye to running away in the next stanza. But can't blame her--would have done the same. Entertaining to read with a good flow throughout. Well done again, Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

I would have stayed on the porch... Thanks, Rich! Oh, disregard the RR for this one. I wasn't paying attention... :)

[Frieda P]

Fraidy cat McRay in the end....thanks for the smile Rita :-)

She stayed in there longer than I would have! Thanks, Frieda

[Frieda P]

Are you afraid of ghosts Rita?

[Rita L. Sev]

Let's just say that I have a healthy respect for the possibilities...

[Sheila Kline]

Fun that is delightfully entertaining for us!! Thanks for sharing this bit of humor -but, I do believe in ghosts and hauntings, and oh so much more!! The dark side of the earth holds many mysteries to explore!

[Rita L. Sev]

Best to embrace the mystery! Thanks, Sheila!
