A MERRY HEART: THE GHOSTLING by THELMA LUCILE LULL

First Line: I HAD A LITTLE GHOSTLING
Last Line: WHATE'ER RESULTS MIGHT BE!
Subject(s): CONSCIENCE; IMAGINATION; THOUGHT; FANCY; THINKING;

I had a little ghostling --
The ghostling of a thought --
Which came into my head one day
As all ideas ought.

It moved around within my mind,
Ideas staid disturbed;
It bumped into my principles
And left them quite perturbed.

It battered up my conscience,
And banged my intellect;
My imagination shattered more
Than I can recollect.

And when that little ghostling
Had finished up with me,
I vowed I'd never think again,
Whate'er results might be!
