Half Haunted

\nIt’s not every day that you hear from a ghost
\nNor giggle to see his ridiculous boast
\nDon’t worry about it he’s floating on beer
\nI doubt that his mind is perceptive or clear
\nVentriloquist’s dummy or just a disguise
\nIt’s easy to see through the fog in his eyes
\nDepression awaits if you try to respond
\nUnpleasantness lives in a slough of despond
\nA fool full of vitriol topped up with booze
\nLooks daft on the page as he struggles to lose
\nI wonder if he knows how small he appears
\nThe shadow of talent still peeps through the tears
\nYou know he once had it and gave it away
\nSo pity the toper who’s lost it today
\nBack then it was easy the words were within
\nAnd beer always gave him a way to begin
\nCan’t help feeling sorry he’s back on the soup
\nKeep him out of trouble his name’s <\/p>\n
