Why Do Ghosts Have Clothes On?

Why do ghosts have clothes on,
Is a question I must ask.
And to find the proper answer,
It will be an awful task.

It's a mystery that eludes us,
As in the case of Auntie Bea.
We buried her in pink chiffon,
But she's haunting us in tweed.

And Uncle Ned the nudist,
Took a dirt bath in the buff.
But when he haunted sister Jane,
He had clothes and all that stuff.

Grandma Sal thinks somethings up,
Because of Grandpa Jed
His favorite color's earthy brown,
But he turned up wearing red.

Do you think there is a tailor,
Who makes clothes for the deceased? 
Making sure they're wearing proper duds,
Their shirts and trousers creased.

We may never know the truth of it,
For there are other mysteries too.
Like why when ever spotted,
All a ghost can say is boo?
