Can someone post the poem Old wife and the ghost by James reeves?

Answer 1

The old wife and the ghost

There was an old wife and she lived all alone

In a cottage not far from Hitchin;

And one bright night, by the full moon light,

Comes a ghost right into her kitchen.

About that kitchen neat and clean

The ghost goes pottering round.

But the poor old wife is deaf as a boot

And hears never a sound...

The ghost blows up the kitchen fire,

As bold as bold can be;

He helps himself from the larder shelf,

But never a sound hears she.

He blows his hands to make them warm,

And whistles aloud "Whee-hee!"

But still as a sack the old soul lies

And never a sound hears she.

From corner to corner he runs about,

And into the cupboard he peeps;

He rattles the door and bumps on the floor,

But still the old wife sleeps.

Jangle and bang go the pots and pans,

As he throws them all around;

And the plates and mugs and dishes and jugs,

He flings them all to the ground.

Madly the ghost tears up and down

And screams like a storm at sea;

And at last the old wife stirs in her bed-

And it's "Drat those mice", says she.

Then the first cock crows and morning shows

And the troublesome ghost's away.

But oh! What a pickle the poor wife sees

When she gets up next day.

'Them's tidy big mice', the old wife thinks

And off she goes to Hitchin,

And a tidy big cat she fetches back

To keep the mice from her kitchen.
