Beached Ghost

Austin Smith

There’s a ghost on the beach!
I hear he once lived here
but why return?

Maybe the salty air,
the brisk sea sounds
or the fishy feeling in his nose.
What if he hated
his silky ghost bed?
Sick of spooking his guests
going Blee! and Boo!

So with a zip a dee doo dah,
he came back to the sun
to feel his ghost skin bake
and itchy, sandy ghost toes
one last time.
