Third Story Haunting

by Debi Pick Marquette


Where my three children used to play

And six grandkids had many joys

In our third story tucked away 

Are now all the abandoned toys 



My daughter's doll was left with me

When I removed the battery

She rolls her eyes and spit real tears



These haunted rooms are up the stairs

All of the toys are each antique

They've given me some major scares

When I went up to take a peek



Her Cricket doll now screams her talk

The other toys all move around

They moan and continue to stalk 

We're tired of the horrid sound



These toys have us both at a loss 

Why should we fear from down below

It's maybe time to show who's boss

So, guess we'll just pack up and go
