We use ouija boards to
ask questions of the dead,
but sometimes I wonder —
what do the dead really know, anyway?
***
Just because,
you may have once
slipped on
a wet tile in the bathroom,
broke your neck
& died,
suddenly you have some good advice for me?
***
Unless,
it’s to wear bath-slippers after showering,
of course.
But, then, that’s sensible
trefology spontaneously appears around the globe
That said, I can’t help but notice the spirits spell the same wrong words that I do.
Don’t dream it’s over, make that over a reality. Talk to a Trefology registrar to-day!
I only have two questions:
Where do we come from?
Where are we going?

Made by God hope to return home one fine day. Hope he likes spirits before breakfast as I would hate to be late on parade.

Wise words.
The only time I ever seanced, the message that returned was ‘Piss off and leave us alone’.

life is so fleeting, maybe they’re saying, put down the damn board, go outside and talk among the living.

Usually the dead are people I didn’t listen to when they were alive. I would question why all of a sudden I would think their comments pearls of wisdom.

I suppose the dead do need some sort of outlet for their feelings. Too bad we do not have a dead-twitter.

In “Pope on the Dole,” the priest uses a Ouija board to come up with a new “nom de pulpit” every Sunday. That’s because his true last name is Priestley…

I wear a helmet and sensible shoes in the shower. I don’t want my obit to read: She slipped on a wet, moldy surface to her death. And I’m not too keen on sharing my extensive wisdom through a ouija board. haha!

Hah! Then, thank you for sharing it whilst you’re still alive.
