Confessions of Little Willie.

Pa says they amt no spooks at all, n l
s'pose he ought to know,
Cause he knows nearly everything worth
KNOWN here below;
He says AT only fraidy calls believes they's
ghosts around,
For people can't git back on earth when you
put 'em underground.
l don't believe in spirits when the sun is
shinin' bright
And l can hear folks talk or they s a ivin
thing in sight,
If they is jist cat or dog around me I'm
prepared
Fer anythin' at comes along, and amt
bit a-scared.
But sometimes l come home from school
when mas away and then
l 60 a-sneakin up the stairs, and then sneak
down again,
Aud think I'll find the doughnuts or the
raisins or the jam
And then | hear somebody step-or door
shuts with slam.
l know as Well as I'm alive they amt no.
body there
But shlver4 creep along my back, and | can
feel my hair
Raise right straight up and stand as stiff as
brisIlas Oh my head
And | believe in ghosts in spite of all pa
ever said
L udSSnnt turn around ana look, Tor m
afraid III see
Some hlg white thing without head a.
standn' back of me
But after while | whistle or else | sing, and
then
Go out and run around the yard and git
braced up again.
And when it's dark at night, and wake up
and lay in bed,
] can't keep ugly thoughts of ghosts from
glttin' in my head
Aud then L hear pa snorin and my blood
gifts froze, almost,
For every snore sounds like the groan of
some poor sinners ghost,
Pa says there amt no ghosts, and l talk
big, sometimes, aud laugh
At Eddie Gray cause he believes, and call
him fraidy calf
But when L do bad things and then am all
alone by jinks,
know they's ghosts a snoopin' round, in
spite of what pa thinks
