Ghost Hunter

"...I meet ghosts in society -- tall, short, thin, fat, well dressed...

Ghost Hunter

I walk in the main street,
in broad day light.
I'm the ghost hunter,
with a big sack on my back,
and some amount of
money in my purse
I meet ghosts in society
tall, short, thin, fat, well dressed,
well groomed,
undressed skeletons, and more ...
They greet me, talk to me
and accept money I offer
to be in my sack.

But I haven't got a single ghost
in main street, lanes and bylanes

Now my skeleton laughs at me,
as I jump into my empty sack
