I’ve been trying my best to be a good host, Though I have no idea as to what suits a ghost, I’ve offered them food, and watched it all rot, I’ve offered my wardrobe, no clothes they sought, I lit a fire for sitting, but they’d no need for heat, I freed up the best armchair, for none to take seat, I’d availed the dead, and was left feeling loose, And so held my head up with the help of this noose, It’s no wonder their company’s naught for to boast, If you ask me, I’ll tell you to give up the ghost.
