MASTERPIECE #3274

/// When a séance is spiritualistic,
reaching out to the dead should be mystic.
But these women are bored
by their lame Ouija Board;
they can’t read and the ghost’s non-linguistic.

/// Two hands’ fingertips graze the planchette,
but they don’t have the hang of it yet.
As it skitters around,
it “says” nothing profound.
Is the spirit they reached named Tourette?

/// Though they push that planchette made of teak,
it won’t give them the message they seek.
After many an hour
the ghosts still show no power.
Flesh is willing; the spirit is weak.

/// They can’t help it, they’re feeling frustration.
This device was for communication.
But it gets no reception.
Is the Ouija deception?
No, the spirits must be on vacation.
