Ghost Towns

Did you ever stumble on a ghost town? They are so interesting to see I can almost hear the spirits Talking ever so softly to me It’s hard to believe they are gone Those folks who lived in the towns As you see the empty buildings Grass sparse and parched and brown And the graveyards are almost eerie One I was excited to find Must have been an epidemic for Little children died at the same time Some ghost towns are preserved Folks must have really cared Too often ghost towns are lost in time For very little of them were spared Another part of history, my friend I hope you too can hear the sound Somewhere in the middle of nothing Are wonderful old ghost towns!
