What?! Another Ghost Verse?
There
once was a ghost who thought that his host
Should
stock only Napoleon Brandy.
By imbibing all night, he became awfully tight.
Oh that spirit of mine is a Dandy!
This
latest Ghostly Poem was inspired and written by Illinois' Retro Jeff upon his realizing the spirit in a white union suit who haunts his home devloped a taste for brandy! Retro

"Chris: My
resident doppelganger has taken to spirits as captured by my infrared
night time camera. As shown, he was caught in the act, emerging from
my attic into the dining room for a night cap in his night cap and white long underwear.
After
noticing the level in my brandy decanter was gradually decreasing
during the night, I decided to set a trap. Soon, I captured my ghost
pilfering from my crystal liquor vessel kept in the dining room of my home.
He apparently was in the habit of returning triumphantly to the attic for a couple nips
before returning the bottle to its rightful place in the dining room, all before I awakened in the morning.
This night, he didn't quite make it back to the dining room before falling fast asleep. Since the decanter had been emptied, I surmised he drank more than his usual and had crumpled to the bottom steps of my staircase in a dead heap. When I awoke the following morning, he had disappeared, but I now had evidence to this mystery!
But, what's
the harm? I now make sure I keep enough brandy for the both of us to
enjoy! ...Retro Jeff"
