James Whitcomb Riley - To An Importunate GhostJames Whitcomb Riley - To An Importunate Ghost
Work rating: Low


Get gone, thou most uncomfortable ghost!     Thou really dost annoy me with thy thin     Impalpable transparency of grin;   And the vague, shadowy shape of thee almost   Hath vext me beyond boundary and coast     Of my broad patience.  Stay thy chattering chin,     And reel the tauntings of thy vain tongue in,   Nor tempt me further with thy vaporish boast     That I am _helpless_ to combat thee!  Well,   Have at thee, then!  Yet if a doom most dire     Thou wouldst escape, flee whilst thou canst!--Revile   Me not, Miasmic Mist!--Rank Air! _retire_!     One instant longer an thou haunt`st me, I`ll   _Inhale_ thee, O thou wraith despicable!
