By Kelly Riley Once upon a time And many years ago There lived upon this earth A monstrous kind of foe Many are its tails Though seldom told today So listen up my friends Don't fall asleep I pray I all starts with a girl Her name none can recall But little of the story Had to do with her at all For where she came into it Was what lived upon her head Something just so powerful It filled children full of dread Full of life and power Seemed to speak when it did shined And if looked at by the weary It's known that they'd go blind Many did it strangle When they just got to near If touched my a mortal hand From the elbow did it sear Bold were its endeavors And Valiant were its deeds But little could one ever do So hard was it to please Unrelenting in its prowess It entered rooms as if a queen Displaying all its splendor Little else could ever be seen I'm sure down in its depths There are those it had sucked in Those who ventured just to close And against it did they sin Many days and many nights Warriors struggled with the foe Countless were its victims How long... We'll never know But finally it was subdued When its strength was finally spent They discussed what they should do As they sat about their tent Few could think of something What were they to do They were running out of time Its strength would soon renew With udder frus-ter-ation They grabbed a needle and a thread They took one of the warriors And sewed it to her head How it struggled and it fought Wiggled left and to the right For many days the girls head Had put up quite the fight Then one day it subsided It accepted its new fate A new wielder of its power A head it could ornate... Little would you notice And you might just disagree That something just so scary Had once been roaming free But next time that you roam the streets And see a head that catches eye Don't be surprised if it's the one Be nice when you pass by... |
