Wraiths and ghosts will debate  
and no matter the cost  
and no matter how late  
"Who's the ghost with the most?"  
It will always come down  
to the one with the sheets  
from soft silk -- like a gown,  
and when this spectre greets  
them, and scares them to death  
with its whimper and wail  
other ghosts catch their breath,  
and then ask: They're on sale,  
these magnificent clothes?  
But the ghost with the most  
swears all matters of oaths  
and proceeds then, to boast  
that the costume is new  
like a burial wreath  
and then gives them a view  
of what lies underneath  
Then they see that indeed  
the sheets cover but air  
They agree, with some speed:  
It was quite a scare!
