That house on the hill may be haunted
My friend, by that she’s not daunted,
It's a happy ghost

That house on the hill may be haunted
My friend, by that she’s not daunted,
It's a happy ghost,
Who lives on the coast

That house on the hill may be haunted
My friend, by that she’s not daunted,
It's a happy ghost,
Who lives on the coast
The locals are never taunted

A big choccy cake as a treat

You’ll be far from cool
You’ll increase the size of your seat!

Giving sleep much more power
I always wake up at the crack

Juliet27 Tue 26-Oct-21 15:23:09

A pumpkin grower from Polegate
Insured his crop with Allstate
They didn’t pay out
When it failed by drought

He thought he`d try his luck elsewhere
He grew an orchid, that was rare
It had great perfume
Wafting thru the room

He thought he`d try his luck elsewhere
He grew an orchid, that was rare
It had great perfume
Wafting thru the room
And when it died the stem was bare.

But they didn`t turn many a head
They grew quite dusty
