Fear's Visit

Awoken from his midnight slumber Fear sought a new soul to encumber His victims he found far and wide And never ever could they hide Cowardice became their only friend Until he led them to their end Yet if they tried to be so bold To throw off Fear’s constricting hold Cowardice would no longer linger They alone could lift Fear’s finger Hurry along you mustn’t tarry Unless you want to make him wary If you desire him to go awry All you need is to catch his eye And when you do you mustn’t blink Do not waver do not think Now tis time to do him in Just laugh and you will always win
