Look outside your window
There’re spiders all around
Falling from the skies
All over the ground
Mommy Mommy wake up
Hide me please somewhere
What if they come inside
Crawl over my hair?
Mommy says — Hide! Quick!
Under the bed we go
She says that they’re not spiders
They’re …
Month: October 2022
Fiendish
An evil mind is full of thoughts
That tie his brain in sinful knots
And he sees the world as he himself is
Murky, vile and fiendish
There’s A Ghost In My Room
There’s a ghost in my room
Who thinks he can’t be seen
Flickers the lights at night
Just to make a scene
There’s a ghost in my room
He slowly closes the door
When it makes a creaking sound
I hear him laugh and roar
There’s a ghost in my room
Who makes many hideous cries
I give him a lot of brownie points
Just for all the tries
I feel like speaking the truth someday
Tell him to stop his gag
But the poor guy seems lonely
So I let his drab show drag
My Head Is A Puzzle
My head is a puzzle
I can never fix
Pieces scattered everywhere
Full of dirty tricks
It knows all my secrets
It knows everything
What do I know about it?
Absolutely nothing!
Is there a single way
To take back my freedom?
Is there a single clue
To solve this conundrum?
Until I find an answer
I am forever stuck
Who is to be blamed for this?
Nobody but my luck
Don’t Make A Sound
The night is cold and chilling
A monster lurks around
It wants to make a killing
Of anybody who’s found
Bolt your doors tightly
Don’t make a sound
Till the sun comes out brightly
Rays hit the ground
Hold on till then for life
From the unknown hound
Gather your kids and wife
Don’t make a sound
A Snake! A Snake! A Snake!
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A snake creeping inside of me
It could not be anything else
What else could it be?
I bit my father yesterday
Wounded my brother too
A snake! A snake! A snake!
That’s what it makes me do
They tied me up with ropes
They refuse to give me food
Oh the snake is hungry
Will it eat me up for good?
I’m hungry I am thirsty
But my family doesn’t care
A snake! A snake! A snake!
Listens to no prayer
Come a little closer brother
Mother please listen to me
Just a little sniff of blood
And I’ll sleep well you see
A snake! A snake! A snake!
It eats me from inside
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A demon by my side
Help Me! I’m Imprisoned
Help me! I’m imprisoned
Imprisoned in my head
Help me find an escape
From this gruesome dread
For years I felt that I
Had power o’er my mind
Boy oh boy was I wrong
Fool of the highest kind
All I see is darkness
Enveloping me
No walls or ground or sky
Nothing I can see
Could anybody save me?
Family or friend?
I ask myself tonight
Will this torture ever end?
When You Wake Up
When you wake up
You should know
The whole night
I held your hand
The whole night
I counted your breaths
The whole night
I watched over you
And tomorrow
I’ll do it again
No I’m not
A psychopath
Or maybe I am
Little Girls And Little Boys
Little girls and little boys
Are more fun than all the toys
All they need is a sweet
They come running with their feet
I take them to my humble home
Where no adult’s allowed to come
That’s when all the fun begins
Their tears and cries, my evil grins
The Devil’s Drink
Take a giant black cauldron
Lit up with Hell’s fire
Then pour in cane toads’ poison
To your heart’s desire
Take the skin of a rattlesnake
Dipped in a lion’s blood
Next a mollusc you will take
Straight from your garden’s mud
Next will go a raven’s wing
Finely-chopped geckos’ tails
Then on top of everything
You add a bunch of snails
Mix them up at midnight
Stir them to a stink
When the pot turns green and bright
You’ll have the devil’s drink
