Frikkin' hilarious! And yes, antics like this happen on a regular basis.

The Other Side

...

a poem by Richard Grooms (OGWordWizard)

…

Humans that have passed on

Have only gone into a new realm

A new dimension

Invisible, seeing human eyes cry for them

At graveyards as they watch themselves

Being laid to rest

Only in flesh, in wooden coffins

The large blue house on Shaw Hill

It is haunted, people say

Families move in, the suddenly they move away

Not long does anyone stay

Stories told, creepy but true,

Of three spirits that dwell inside

They can appear and disappear with ease

Three confederate soldiers who died of battle wounds,

Young and alone

Over a hundred years, they've roamed

The rooms and halls of the home…

American Civil War - A powder monkey aboard the USS New Hampshire off Charleston, South Carolina. The picture is thought to have been taken some time between 1864 and 1865. Boys were employed on sailing warships to carry powder to the guns. The American Civil War, fought between 1861 and 1865, claimed 620,000 lives - nearly as many American casualties as every other war fought by the United States combined....!!
