you visit this disused Olde Gaol
remote, renowned
250 years old and now a musuem;
and rumoured to be haunted
you love the thrill but fear meeting
a ghost, the one said to make
unexpected appearance in this prison
"I love the excitement," you tell the guide
"but I'd die if I met one"
The guide pooh-poohs your suggestion
and says: *"In all my time here
I have yet to see a ghost"*
"And how long," you ask, *"have you
worked here?"*
And the guide answers: "245 years"
