Let us tell you a story

Of a boy tall, lanky, and drunk

The life and times of Patrick O'Mickey

He is full of great spunk

+

He runs through the town

"Where's the ghost where's the ghost?"

The people call him a clown

"Sit down lad, here, have some toast"

+

"I can't, for I am busy

looking for a creature from beyond

I call him Great Uncle Tizzy

He lives out by the pond.

+

We play hide-and-seek

He's a very good hider

But I'm dizzy and weak

I got bit by a spider"

+

"The boy's mad, he's insane,"

They said shortly after

"Something's wrong with his brain

He may need a doctor."

+

So they beat him and maimed him

Left him for dead

They bruised him and hit him

Til they saw him bleed red.

+

"Please leave, get out of here

and don't ever come back"

The boy grinned and sneered

"Great Uncle Tizzy, attack."

+

They pleaded like weenies

As they saw the ghost coming

"No, you're all meanies

I suggest you start running."

+

They ran and they fled

Right out of the city

Dared not turn a head

It didn't look pretty

+

"You did good, you did well."

The ghost replied to this with a scoff

"Good, now stand still,

And let me finish you off"
