Short one for a wet Saturday!

The ghost stood in the dead center of the busy downtown intersection at rush hour. Being in the dead center meant none of the cars actually hit it – mostly.

“Taaaaaaake oooooon Meeeeee!” the ghost sang at the top of its lungs with his arms outstretched and then echoed its own refrain, “take on me!”

“Taaaaaaake meeeeee oooooon!” and again, “Take on me!”

“Iiiiiiiii’lllllll beeeeee gooooone, hmmm mmmmmMMMMMMMM!”

“Will you stop doing this?!” the ghost on the sidewalk yelled. “You don’t even know the lyrics!”

The ghost in the intersection lowered his arms and started dancing to the beat only it could hear, “So, needless to say, hmm mmm hmmm, Hmmm but I’ll be stoned anyway, slowly learning the sky is around me, hmmm mmm…”

“Ugh!” The ghost on the sidewalk grunted in frustration. “You always do this! For hours at a time! The least you could do is get the lyrics right!

The ghost in the street spun in place and started dancing more vigorously as it reached the chorus again,

“Taaaaaaake oooooon Meeeeee!” it sang and then echoed, “take on me!” However, it danced a little too far out of the dead center of the intersection and a speeding RAV4 drove right through the ghost. While the car seemingly passed right through it, once it came out the back of the car it staggered a little and looked around a little confused. It shrugged, and dodged a Dodge Caravan as it headed to the sidewalk to join the other ghost. “I do so know the lyrics…” it said as they walked off.

Meanwhile, in the RAV4 the woman driving started singing to herself, “Taaaaaaake oooooon Meeeeee!” then realized what she was doing and said to the woman in the passenger seat, “Huh, don’t know how that song got stuck in my head!”
