A bold constable patrolled alone one
night
Upon a man sitting on a grave, fell
his sight
‘Why here? He asked in whim
“Actually it’s too hot within!!”
The constable, all pale, just ran and
ran in fright!
Once a boy longed to visit the high
hillside
“Never, it’s haunted” his mother did
chide
Still he went, and saw a man too lost
Boy asked “does here roam a ghost?”
Said he “How would I know? A decade
back I died!
