A bone in the throat

A bone in the throat might cause you to choke

A ghost in a home might scare you to croak

More than inconveniences, I do believe

But it is my hope, you are failing to be

As a bone in the throat, might be the key

For you, for once, to appreciate to breathe

And a ghost in a home, a missing piece

Which allows you to finally see

Maybe life continues, after we cease

So next time, your home is haunted by a ghost

Instead of turning tail and leaving him to float

Ask him how he died and you might be surprised

to know, he choked, on a bone, while driving

but survived, to die, 30 years later, in a faulty elevator.
