If I Was a Ghost

I'd be your host

If for a day

I was a ghost

I would quietly squeak

Sleeping bedposts

Everyone at peace

Now awoke

Push to sea

Your rowboats

Turn inside out

Your yellow raincoats

Masquerade

Against the hoax

I’d even change

Your political votes

And let out most

Of your Alpine goats

Late at night

Piano notes

While I sow

My wild oats

It won’t be easy

To test my jokes

I wouldn’t make

A good host

Without a nose

Or any toes

Kids would think

I was gross

But what do they know

They ain’t a ghost
