bump in the night
is not as strange
as you might think
you never know
whence the bump
comes or goes
some say ghosts
some say fright
but I say
a bump in
the night
is only a dream
or a rat
maybe even
a washing machine
but never a ghost
or a ghoul can
go bump
only a wife
mad as hell
can make a bump
oh hell
I was confused with
the word thump.
that is what it really was
a thump in the night
from a wife
afraid of ghosts
when I tried to
sneak in late.
she heard bump bump
I felt thump thump
Well from one old grizz to another I was enchanted by your spin on the bump/thump theme.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way it sped along and reached a satisfying end. Much enjoyed.
Pretty funny hunny!!

ReplyDeleteLoved the ending to this. Funny, and quite often true :-)
