This is happening at the moment, think it's my Grandma trying to tell me something from beyond the grave, Yankee doodle is significant to her. [bodytext] => Yankee doodle might be dandy
But he gives me such a fright
'Cause sometimes I need a brandy
In the middle of the night

Someone's trying to tell me something
What it is I do not know
Wish they'd send a letter or email
Thinking of calling in a pro

Don't make light of my situation
For I'm getting pretty scared
I know it's not my imagination
Into the darkness I dare not stare

I hear the tune of Yankee doodle
A jewellery box that's being played
But I don't have one, I'm in a muddle
And my nerves are slightly frayed

So whats my message I ask you spirit?
What is it that you want to say?
'Cause I'll not rest, I will not leave it
Until in peace you finally lay [comments] => 4 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 49 [informant] => AliB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => mystical )

I frequently need a brandy in the middle of the night!
This is a good write for me it had an eeriness to it

I hear the tune of Yankee doodle
A jewellery box that's being played
But I don't have one, I'm in a muddle
And my nerves are slightly frayed

So whats my message I ask you spirit?

'Cause I'll not rest, I will not leave it
