A DEMON
CAUGHT ME
demon
Caught me
In my room
With a haunting
Yell
And a cry
Of doom
He leaped
And beat me
With a terror
Claw.
The threats
Of misery
And grave
The banishment of
Lord
To slave
The shriek
Of awfulness
And sin
He!
The howling ghastly fantasy
The awesome yowling
The horrid filthy travesty
Of gloom
I quailed
And whined
For mercy I
Who had in heyday
Eight times slain the
Mightiest
Of dragons
Me!
I whined and pled
And crawled abed
And begged
Yea begged for surcease
I!
A demon
Caught me in
My room
And I
Poor fool
Had fear enough
To weep.
