Entering a busy hotel the man was surprised
from his wife’s hand pulled apart
finding himself in a side room pushed in a crush
wondering where his she had gone
suddenly felt like a cold hand tight did grip
the shock made him bite his lip!
As he quivered afraid to move his spouse entered
seeing him with a gripped fist
as she approached shaken he gave her a loving hug
telling of his unexpected experience
giving a patronizing smile she gave him a kiss
this rare moment could not resist.
Unknown to them the hotel had a ghostly reputation
having many ghostly guests in situ
but it was meant to be a weekend break together
no thought then of any apparitions
but his enthusiasm had waned with the experience
not thinking it was nonsense!
After changing in their room with a four-poster bed
not noticing items falling on the floor
went down for a candle lit dinner in the oak panelled
dinning room with antiques on the wall
here the waitress enlightened them on the pubs past
and the couple were aghast!
After a lot of wine plucked up the courage to return
it seemed to the most haunted room
with more confidence and rather drunk fell asleep
around two he was rudely awoken
as the television roared out of bed hubby did roll
his wife his pain did not console!
She sat up to drunk to care laughed at his misfortune
unaware of a shadowy shape close by
but he had seen it and was sobering up at the sight
realising the room was quiet again
confused at the sudden activity trying to tell his wife
with this moment filled with strife!
Soon his beloved was shaken awake from any slumber
as the bed started to vibrate
even lifting off the thick patterned bedroom carpet
in a state of disbelief screamed
as it started it was once more at rest dressing decided
they would find another hotel instead!
Gathering their belonging got out of there post-haste
the night receptionist looked concerned
trying hard to hide a very amused disinterested face
she had seen it many times before
and arranged other accommodation for those scared
who here to stay longer were not prepared!
With a sigh of relief the couple left the haunted hotel!
