Halloween Tombstones. Part One: Mad Scientists.
Dr. Griffin ( The Invisible Man.)
In the fog, I'm a bubble,
Step in tar, I'm in trouble,
but all these, I'll defeat, one by one.
For, unseen in the room,
I can call out their doom,
I'll rule all mankind when I'm done.
Dr. Moreau (The Island of Dr. Moreau.)
He carves hoofs into paws.
He grinds scales into claws.
He remakes all Gods' creation with awe.
Then, a sneer on his lips,
a sharp crack of the whip,
as he demands of them: " What is the Law?"
Dr. Pretorious ( The Bride of Frankenstein.)
No, my pure pupil, instead
of bringing life to the dead,
then let him rampage here and there,
We must make him a mate!
It is our sorry fate
to be a warning to mankind: "Beware!"
This is for all of my friends at Poetry Soup. This might jump start the Halloween season.
I'm going to attempt to do them in segments and hopefully get all of the classic monsters
done this week. Happy Halloween. Sleep ...well?! A Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...
