Living Poetry 
Three Cats are one short.
Three wheels are a tricycle, not a car.
Three quarters don’t make a dollar.
A menage a trois leaves one unattended to.
Three is one short of a bridge game,
a tennis double, a double date.
Three friends are missing one confidant.
The holy trinity is missing a woman.

The first ghost laughed at greedy souls,
spending time to earn riches
they could never spend.
The second ghost laughed at the seekers of power,
ruling faceless bitter masses
while growing gray and grim,
as joy is drained
and seeps into the unforgiving earth.
The third ghost laughed at the ambitious,
using all their years
to be remembered
by people they would never know.
All three ghosts smiled knowingly
at those who live in wonder,
soaking in the life that still surrounds them,
storing in their hearts
the gifts each minute offered,
ready for their journey past the veil.
