=The knight and the Ghost=
 * By Nate T**

= = He was full of laughter and light He too was brave and full of might And many were jealous of he and wished on him a plight One jealous man, a wizard **__5__** A fierce old coot with a pet lizard Sent to the knight a ghost The ghost was bigger than most All night and day To the knight’s dismay **__ 10 __** “BOO!” the ghost would say The knight got not a bit of sleep Not even a tiny peep So to Merlin the knight went In the city of Kent **__15__** A large and urban place Where everyday there was held a race “Merlin,” asked the knight “Will you help me with my plight?” Merlin then said ** __20 ​ __ ** “A ghost, is he dead?” And the knight responded “Most dead.” Merlin pondered and than said, “Try giving him some bread!” “Bread!” the knight said, “Where would I get that!” In sadness then the knight sat **__25__** Then Merlin said “Win it in the race!” “That’s it!” the knight cried and he went to pick up his mace He dashed away hoping to win some bread in the race But on the way, tripped and fell on his face “Now I’ll never win the race!” the knight moaned __** 30 **__ Then he stood and gave a groan Then knight saw a great thing It was so great he began to sing On the ground lay a piece of toast Causing the knight to cry, “Now I can banish my ghost!” **__ 35 __** So he took the toast to the ghost And said to it “I hate to boast…” “But I have found you a piece of toast!” “So leave me know you old haunt! And so with this the ghost left, no wishing to hear anymore taunts **__ 40 __** And so now the knight sleeps well Expect for the loud ringing of the church bell!
