Ghosts - Francis Cluney, The Adelaide Arcade Ghost Poem by Paul Warren

In 1885 they built the Adelaide Arcade as the first Shopping Centre
And in 1887 Francis Cluney was working as the Centre's Caretaker
One night he was at work climbing near the Electricity Generator
And he slipped into the machinery and was mangled in this manner

And now they say they when you walk on the first floor
You hear footsteps and the temperature became chiller
And Francis sometimes can be seen on CCTV film on the hop
As a blurry light as it moves near the local dry clean shop.
