Mangez des gâteaux plus souvent!
What assails you is never more than the irritated specter of the plenitude with which you did not manage to come to terms. - Pierre-Albert Jourdan
Make ready a pot of tea
for when the ghost is met,
then ask politely if...
there's still a crumb to get.

[Mangez des gâteaux plus souvent! is the slogan found on many, many (most? - I couldn't say - I haven't seen them all, though not for lack of trying) French pâtisserie boxes and bags, flourished over the charming depiction of a small boy unabashedly stuffing his face with sweets. I know Marie Antoinette actually said brioche and not cake - but the exhortation to eat cake more often thrills me in a revolutionary way nonetheless. ]

I like the idea of irritated specters, as all ectoplasm should have personality
though Jourdan has me chuckling over the prospect of the plenitude of specters, as I imagine them somehow naturally lacking
I would hope ghosts would willingly share, on my pantry no cookies, but flaky, powdered sugar covered, puff pastry filled with guava jam
