Ghosts Over For Tea  by Devin Ens

 

One’s quite hairy

One’s been stabbed

One’s a fairy

They’re all quite fab

They live in my closet

They talk to me

They’re not demons

They’re ghosts over for tea

 

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!

 

One’s in shackles

One holds the chain

One’s in torment

But he likes the pain

They come every morning

At a quarter to three

They’re not the milkman

They’re ghosts over for tea

 

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!

 

Yes! Yes! There is tea after death!

Yes! Yes! You can sip beyond your breath

 

Woooooooo…

 

One’s very slimy

But he never drips

One’s got a reptile

Growing from his hip

They glow iridescent

Fly gracefully

They’re not flashbacks

They’re ghosts over for tea

 

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!

Ghosts over for tea!
