Shadowlands

Boils and ghouls, come take my hand,
let's journey to a wondrous land,
where sorrow grows on gnarled trees—
(you'll get your darkest wish with ease).
Â
Cryptic kingdoms mists enshroud,
goofy goblins laugh out loud,
as wacky witches sing sad songs
in hopes mere mortals sing along.
Â
Coffins creaking, cryptic tones,
ghastly ghoulish ghostly moans.
Wolfman Jack—he's on the prowl!
Who will play top forty now?
Â
Thrillers, chillers, toxic treats,
make it bloody, keep it neat.
Witches wearing Hollister;
wow, won't that cause quite a stir!?!
Â
Ghastly banshees' fine fur coats.
Crumbling castles—murky moats.
Bat wings beat to mark the time,
Cheshire cats that speak in rhyme.
Â
Werewolves driving Lamborghinis,
succubi in bright bikinis;
come with me, you'll have a blast,
do it now, but make it fast...
Â
...Shadowland soon disappears;
it won't be seen again for years.
Let's go now, before the dawn.
No one will even know we're gone.
