The Edison Museum, not open to the publicIts haunted towers rise into the clouds above itFolks drive in from out of townTo gaze in amazement when they see itJust outside the gate I look into the courtyardUnderneath the gathering thunderstormThrough the iron bars, I see the Black MariaRevolving slowly on its platformIn the topmost tower, a light burns dimA coiling filament glowing withinThe Edison Museum, once a bustling factoryToday is but a darkened, cobweb covered hive of industryThe tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in New JerseyBehind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas AlvaRecites a poem on a phonographGhosts float up the stair, like silent moving picturesThe loyal phantoms of his in-house staffA wondrous place it is, there can be no doubtBut no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes outSo when your children quarrel and nothing seems to quell themJust tell them that you'll take them to the Edison MuseumThe largest independently owned and operated mausoleum
