Away

My chatty Ouija board just notes, " away "  
(I think it's developing a sneering tone)  
and where you have gone it just will not say,  
   
Its planchette just jabbers jargon all day  
emptier than your phone's jolly ring-tones  
and where you have gone they, just will not say,  
 
Though its not pointed to ' goodbye ' today    
but just stays mute as the graveyard's jaw bones  
my chatty Ouija board just notes " away. "  
   
Its cheap card board just got all worn and frayed  
as I've raced frantic round its spelling zone
my chatty Ouija board just notes  " away "  
   
Did it take vows it's compelled to obey  
(does  it approve I am left all alone?)  
cos where you have gone it just will not say,  
   
Perhaps a telegram will come today    
Or a dozen paper roses you've grown,
My chatty Ouija board just notes " away "  
And where you have gone it just will not say...
