REVULSION
A fever grips your mind
Your dreams are truly vile:
A severed hand, still alive
A changeling:
Wolfman by full moon;
The creature from
The black lagoon.
Blue beard sporting
A gleaming knife;
To slaughter yet another wife.
Vampires changing INto bats
Then crawl around the floor as rats.
The headless horseman
And his fiery black steed;
Are riding out
Across the reeds.
A gargoyle
Yes, and Captain Gore;
The talons of the giant claw;
Swooping down then
Eating humans raw.
THE END
