The Rougarou Part I

The Rougarou Part I

Deep in the swamp under a full moon
Legend says a creature roams deep in the lagoon
Eyes red and glowing in the dark as he prowls
Even the alligators hide to the sound of his growls

A few brave souls have searched in the bog
For the creature with the body of a man and head of a wolfdog
The legend originated in France from there it grew
To the swamps of Louisiana
The Rougarou

Parents told the legend to their children to keep them out of the woods
Also, to scare Catholics to keep Lent as they should
He is super strong, moves fast, can change shape
Anyone who finds him needs to know how to escape

Put a leaf in your pocket and say a prayer
Whatever you do, never into his red eyes stare
If you should find him mustn't tell anyone for a year and a day
You must heed this warning to what I say

If you make those mistakes
I'm warning you
You could change and become
A Rougarou too

My Dear Shirley,

The dark bogs of Louisiana, one should absolutely eschew;
For you surely do not want to come upon, the terrible Rougarou!
But if you do, then please listen, to these methods of escape;
Never stare into his red eyes, a leaf in your pocket drape!

Say a prayer and make a promise, to tell no one for a year;
If you follow these arcane instructions, you have nothing now to fear!
"But make one mistake I'm warning you", don't swing the pendulum;
Or you will morph into iniquity, and a Rougarou then become!

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
