Invasions Of The Poltergeist Poem by Tom Billsborough

Invasions Of The Poltergeist

Rating: 5.0


My outdoor shoes, when not in use,
Remain on duty in the lounge,
Discreetly stationed out of view
To claim a broken limb or two.
But not today! Some supernatural
Power had whizzed them through the door
To reappear upon the kitchen floor,
And in full view. This won't do.
And yesterday my bedside clock
Had flown away together with a new pack
Of twenty cigarettes. And not by chance.
Serious heists, in fact.
Conclusive evidence
Ofmischievous poltergeist

You are quite right. It ought to be discreetly as it means in this context half hidden. Well spotted, Bri. I'll get Gladys to put it right. Can't blame her this time!

The shoes are back on Duty, on the hunt for limbs to break. I see they have stationed themselves close to the French Window so somebody's likely to get glassed! Better not be me!

Well, here's one bloke ('dude', in Bri's lingo) that did get whisked away into Tom's page on account of this poem, if only to lend a little moral support in his battle with otherworldly critters. Hang in there, pal! Glad to see you resurface, or was it me that went under? Don't know anything for sure anymore these days...
