Oh, I hadn't seen that before! Thanks for the link.

You may think me really weird (okay, weirder yet... ) but here is one of my favorite Edward Gorey limericks.

"Each night father fills me with dread
as he sits on the edge of my bed
I don't mind that he speaks
in gibbers and squeaks
but for seventeen years he's been dead"

...picture it with a 'traditional' Gorey sketch of a ghost on a bed! hee, hee, hee!!
