A Man and a Woman Who Live On a Hill
She went to a small village to escape hell
She heard stories about a man living on a hill
No one has seen him in ages he became a legend
Darkness surrounded his name
so it wasn't mentioned
Some people said he was half man half animal
Others were convinced he was a cannibal
They told her what ever you do don't go to his house
Young, and curious that's what she did
Hours later she reached her destination
and wondered if it was too late to hide under her bed
See in the dark night his house was terrifying
She kept a brave face, but inside she was dying
She knocked on the door
minutes later he opened
She stood still for a moment
He was a normal man no horns or a tail
Looked handsome. If a bit frail
He invited her inside. She decided to risk it
They chatted, laughed, and had tea, and biscuit
She asked why are you isolated?
He said I have serious trust issues
The more he talked the more she related
she said please take me with you
Years later the people of the village told tourists
stories about a man, and a woman who live on a hill
No one knew anything about them.
Except that they were creatures from hell
