Lyrics
Ey Ghost, Let's Talk
Ey, Ghost
Do you think you are scary fooling around by throwing all kinds of things to the ground? Because I had a cat once I'm used to such flings And I have no attachment to most of my things
My pictures are now hanging all upside down Are you a magician playing a clown? Some even look much better like this And my visitors noticed nothing amiss
My clocks are running backwards now that is a feat I am really impressed it's time that we meet eye to eye, human and ghost Let's see who scares the other the most
And maybe we don't need to act like cat and mouse We might have more in common than only this house Let's see if together we can have some fun And maybe have all our rooms redone?
Ey, Ghost, let's talk!
(c) 10./11. February 2025 by C.J. Ueberall Skirmish prompt: Ghost Comedian

aah, what a fun. I admire your creativity for the lyrics. 4 strophes full of colorful storytelling.

I too would be impressed by clocks running backward. But might not turn that into an invitation! Good change frommhavimg had a cat to being a cat.

"Some even look much better like this" : I have seen this kind of art.
It's fun to have a singer who is not impressed by the ghost's behaviour.

Haha! I love this. I love supernatural things and ghosts in particular, so just on the theme I was on board, but the writing was witty and clever and I'd love to hear this song come to... ahem life (sorry ghosties)

It was fun to read about a human who is not only unaffected by all the ghost’s attempts to inflict chaos but who even welcomes it.

This is such a great line: eye to eye, human and ghost Let's see who scares the other the most
Great skirmish!
