Those Kids: Part Two



Those Kids: Part Two
By: Roger Alderman

The very next morning slowly they each awoke
Then their uncle sat them down and assured them that “this is no joke!”
“You played with my gear that I can see!”
“Don’t do it again unless you ask me!”

They each nodded and they each understood
Their uncles gear next time they must ask
“Regardless” and no matter how “paramount the task”

Somethings not right this much I know
Tell of your ghostly issues and your ghastly woes

Their uncle sat silent as the children began
Each spoke truth… well as much as they can
The devil’s in the detail he continued to say
We must examine everything about that fateful day
“the urn can hold the ghost,” declared the ghost hunting man

I’ve hunted all manner of ghost on high and below
I did learn much on my ghost hunting show
The children all nodded and agreed
The warnings their uncle offered they surely must heed

They searched the small town seeking their prey
The first of the specter was a creature of sin
Something so wicked
Wants to perform its vice again and again

Greed was its game and also its name
and cared not whom it stole from all the same

The trick was to find
A person quite out of their mind
With greed in their head
And Containing a soul of the dead
like someone avoiding their own kind

A philanthropist whom has fallen from grace
A man now scorned with egg on his face
A once great man until the specter took hold
His thoughts about others slowly grew cold
  
The children agree it was the best place to start and man with full of greed with a dead heart
The man they found where he now lived
On the south edge of town

That’s where it dwelled and where it hid.
