It started a few weeks ago
When our stuff started to disappear
We were shocked to find
Something really weird
There was a man living in my closet
I've never seen him there before
Until one day while I was cleaning my floor
I heard a scream, a cry for help
What a shock to find
That a old man was dying inside your home
What to do
But to let him now
that I will help him
Once I got this stranger out of my house
I think it's only fair for him to let me know
What he was doing in my home
He said he's been living there for years
Every night when your family went to bed I would come out
Wonder about
Then eat till I pass out
What nice family you've got here he said
Thanks I guess
But once I close the door you can no longer
Stay in my house anymore
He said okay
And the old man was on his way
To where ever he was planning to stay
When my husband got home
I didn't hesitate to say
What had happened to me today
To my surprise he didn't seem to believe me
So I described the man to him
The next thing I know my husband drops laughing
You seem to be describing my great grand pappy
He's been dead for over 4 years
I think you may he confused but he's been dead for a while just like you
What do you mean
Just like me
I ask frantically
Well as you can see
I store my family in this closet for safe keeps
I can't let go of my great grandpa and wife
I should've told you earlier
I guess you're right
Goodnight.
