Miniature Ghost

Once upon a pixel time,
There was a pixel ghost,
He was clumsier, less scary
And well, more stupid than most!

They tried to show him lots of tricks,
Like how to walk through walls,
They tried to have him howl and moan
And haunt the mansion halls.

But he just was not interested,
‘This is just so dull,’ he said!
‘If we cannot have any fun,
Then there’s no point in being dead?’

‘You’re a ghost,’ his elders told him,
‘You’re supposed to haunt and prowl.
You’re meant to walk through doors and walls
And moan and scare and howl.’

‘Nah, not me,’ was his reply,
Before leaving their meeting.
‘I’m not hanging around this house,
I’m going trick or treating!’
