That's Rather Odd For M Lady Linda Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Life’s full of little mysteries
odd happenings you can’t explain.
Which leave a feeling of unease
and so we carefully refrain.

From saying anything at all
to anyone.We are afraid
that other foks as usual
would not believe us if we said.

That we had seen a ghost appear
dressed in the style of bygone days
Not only did I see but hear
A memory I can’t erase.

Each one of us has seen or heard
something we do not talk about
. Because to us its seems absurd
and so we try to blank it out.

We can’t explain it though we try,
there is no answer we can find.
So we repress the memory deep
down in our subconscious mind.

But in due course we realise
that everybody secretly.
Has seen something but they tell lies
Because they fear the mockery.

I try to keep an open mind
accept it as reality.
Not everything can be defined
and probably will never be.
