A Haunting Love Story

One scary night a grave opened on its own
And revealed a skeleton which let out a large moan
He had come back to life to fulfill his last wish
To meet his last girlfriend and recieve his last kiss.

He leapt out of the grave and streched himself in an arch
Dusted off the dirt and and thought why was everything so dark
He started to walk towards his beloved lover's house
Stumbling and falling as his eyes were eaten away by a mouse.

Blind as a bat he walked in the middle of the night
He was pulled by love, which was good, as he had no sight
But the main problem were the bones which kept falling down
The dastardly dogs took them away and buried them underground.

He walked with his hands up in air to scare the dogs away
Mr. Atheist watched him and suddenly found his God and began to pray
One truck driver saw him and with fright took off the truck's steer
A drinker, glimpsed him and went again in the bar to embrace Doomsday with another beer.

Thinking he scared everyone, Tom continued walking, his hands high
He hit a pole and all his bones dropped like ice from the sky
With his right hand he re-arranged his complete skeleton
And sensing his love near him, he got up and began to run.

Finally he reached her door and gave it a knock.
But the door swing open by itself as there was no lock.
He waited and adjusted his collar bone, thinking he looked good
He was looking just as smart as he ever could.

Ruby opened the door and looked at this bony-pile
Finally she recognised him and gave a smile
"Oh Tom its you, I thought you were dead,
Did you lose weight, and why are your teeth above your head?"

Tom put his head upside down in right position
"I have come here Ruby because I am on a mission
To get the kiss from you I couldn't get when I died
When I fell from Eiffel Tower while flying the kite."

"But I have a new boyfriend now he's here with me
I will kiss you only if he will also agree"
The boyfriend was in her house at the moment and he came
A skinny fella' with striped shirt and large glasses with a box frame

"You chose this nerd after I died in the accident"
"Woah I am the smartest person mister, I pay my own rent
I can fight any computer diseases, any trojan or virus
I write 150 WPM, hello my name is Cyrus"

"Well, Cyrus I have fought braver wars and have lost my eye
But the fighter was also brave-hearted, I do not deny"
"1st World war?" "No" "2nd?" "No, it was actually a mouse"
He got me in the grave when he couldn't get me in my house."

"Now I am here to ask for a thing from my love
I am here to get a mouthful of kiss from my dove"
"Now hold it there, you are kissing no dove here
You seem drunk mister even though I am gulping the beer"

"I mean this beatiful girl, who used to be my lover
Before I fell from the Eiffel and discovered I could not hover"
"Oh this girl I see, oh, no she is mine now
Find another one because this kiss I won't allow"

"Then we shall fight each other till someone loses his head"
"Oh, sorry to dissapoint you mister but you are already dead
But we will play chess now and decide who will have her"
"Okay, but I will take white, because I was called 'Tom Sir'"

They played and played and Ruby looked in excitement
And started applying lip-stick to kiss one gent
Tom thought hard it was like Kasparov against Blue
And after an hour he did what even Kasparov couldn't do.

He won the game as he had played it many times
On the arcade machine while others on Doom and Contra wasted their dimes
So he got ready to take the final kiss
But stopped when he saw instead an ugly miss

It was Ruby with makeup off and was looking like a fantastic dame
That is if you are as ugly as the Hunchback of Notre Dame
"I waited for this moment as it was prophesied
That a dead man would come to kiss me and I would become his bride."

"Are you sure it was that a dead man would kiss you
And not that whoever would kiss you would be dead before he knew?"
Said Tom now frieghtened to see his lover as a witch
"Come here, sweetie" the witch shouted,"you'll be accustomed to this little glitch"

"She's all yours nerd" said Tom and made his way back to the grave
But Cyrus for the first time ran faster than a cycler and shouted,"Ah, Jesus help, Jesus save!"
The witch...er..Ruby shut her door and smiled wickedly while smeeling a flower
"No worries, I can always push another fool down from the Eiffel Tower"
