We’ve got a ghost inside our home, It snacks around when we’re alone. It stole my candies, one by one Honestly, this ghost is having fun! Then Mom said, “Pizza’s here tonight!” The ghost said, “Excellent!” and took one bite... Then two, then five. Oh, what a shock The whole pizza vanished around the clock! Mom, I swear, it wasn’t me! There’s a hungry ghost - you just can’t see! “Then why,” says Mom, “is cream on your nose?” “Because the ghost and I had a CLOSE!” “Why are your sleeves covered in cake?” “I tried to stop him!" (for goodness’ sake) Mom bought a giant birthday cake, One slice was all we planned to take. But when she turned around to phone The cake had vanished! Gone! Unknown! Just one tiny crumb was on the floor… And somehow twenty were around my door. Mom, I swear, it wasn’t me! There’s a hungry ghost - you just can’t see! “Then why,” says Mom, “is cream on your chin?” “I was wrestling the ghost. I nearly won!” “Why does your T-shirt smell like cheese?” “Because he threw the pizza at my knees!” I saw him sneaking through the hall, I shouted, “STOP! GIVE BACK IT ALL!” I jumped to catch him. What a fight! He threw a donut! Then took flight! I ducked too late. SPLAT! Oh dear… Now half the donut’s in my ear! Mom said: “Hmm. Very strange. Let’s investigate.” She found a fork inside my plate. She found some candy in my shoe... I said, “THE GHOST PUT THAT THERE TOO!” Mom, I swear, I’m telling true! That greedy ghost is worse than you! He ate the pizza, cake, and sweets, Then left me wearing all the treats! I’m not the villain. Can’t you see? I’m the hero who fought bravely! The ghost escaped… But I’ll get him soon... …Right after I finish this macaroon. 👻🍕🍰
