The ghost on the porch of old Mr. Steele.....by KPRIMM

The ghost on the porch of old mr. steele?
I'm not afraid,said Tom,what's the big deal?
I saw it move Tom,that thing is real,
He did'nt believe me but I know it's real.

You must be crazy,said Tom, it's a sheet,
and the three of them laughed at me, Tom, Bill, and Pete.

Don't be a chicken come with us tonight,
We'll pull off that sheet,and we'll prove that we're right.
Haven't you heard the stories round town?
Steele's brother died in that house, body never was found.

And the last thing i heard was thier laughter in droves
as they turned on their heels and they headed for home.
I've got to be brave,and my courage I'll prove,
But I just can't go with them,I saw that thing move.

I'll tell them I'm sick,yes that's what I'll do,
But they'll know that I'm lying,OH! what should I do?

The rest of the day I sat home all alone,
Just dreading the night that I knew was to come.
I prayed hard to GOD,please don't let it be real,
The ghost on the porch of old mr. steele.

A few hours later night did come indeed,
With a rap on my door from Tom,Bill, and Pete.
They said"hello chicken are you ready to go"?
We'll pull the sheet off that ghost and then we'll all know.

So we went to Steele's house and we stood at his stairs,
And up on the porch was the ghost standing there.
Tom went up first as the rest stood and stared,
As he reached for the sheet the ghost rose in the air.

Well all three of them ran and didn't stop for a thing,
As I spied old man Steele in the brush with a string,
Now I'll let them all still think that it's real,
The ghost on the porch of old Mr. Steele.
