A Ghost Named Charlie

Once there was a ghost and his name was Charlie.
Not once in his life did he ever shoot anything up,
but he still had track-marks on his arm.
He often wandered bleak halls of asylums,
both in life and death.

He had a tourette's compulsion for a while;
he'd say, "Touch? Touch *metal*?"
and then go for the nearest brass outlet;
this was influenced by 'Drunk History' by Derek Waters;
about Benjamin Franklin's bastard son.

Before he passed on he wrote many stupid things,
filled with pretentious rhetoric.
