Ghost-in-Law (A True Story)

 
It was one late night sometime back in nineteen seventy five
When Frank came home nine sheets to the wind -  intoxicated
His wife was really pissed off and she made him sleep on the couch
She didn’t like his heavy drinking and on that night she was very irritated
 
But Frank’s mother-in-law, feeling a little sorry for the guy
Thought it was cold so she got up to get sheets and cover him
And as she raised them over her head, in the dark, he suddenly woke up
So he stuttered and screamed seeing floating sheets coming to smother him
 
The alcohol quickly wore off
