A Dark Place

In the desolate depths of a perilous place,
a creepy man lurks with a frown on his face.
Never dare–never dare–to approach his dark lair
for he’s waiting–just waiting–to lure you in there!
...
He skulks deep in shadows, relentless and riled
in his search for a tender, moist edible child.
With razor sharp claws and slathering jaws,
he will drag you inside, then there’s no hope at all.
...
Not too many have entered his deadly domain
to have ever come back to their loved ones again.
Children make a fine feast for this butchering beast—
Oh, he’s waiting–he’s waiting–to indulge in his sin!
...
Such a sulphurous, sunless, sad sinister place,
he will crush all your bones in his evil embrace.
Never, ever go near if your life you hold dear.
Please run if he comes for he’s lurking quite near!
...
This monster I write of appears very nice.
But his grip will not slip, like the strongest steel vice.
You don’t know it yet but you’ve gazed in his eyes.
Surprise, he is me–don’t you like my disguise?

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-hee-hee-hee…
