Miss Peggy's House

well, my mother loved to visit miss Peggy's place
yes, they talk about this and that but
still, Miss Peggy had several
spaded black cats in her place and
mother would ask her three young boys
to come out and visit Miss Peggy's house
unfortunately, 
i 
was the only one
brave enough to say that i have
a deep fear inside my chest that sing out
then I said, mama 
i 
am really scared of
those 
big black cats are creeping around
in 
Miss Peggy's house
the black cats looked like
centurions guards and griffins 
standing along the
halls and stairs, 
with 
their marble red eyes and
white Cheshire smiles and
i 
cried when mama 
said 
boy you come over here 
and
give Miss Peggy a nice big juicy kiss and a fat hug
i 
finally screamed out loud 
and 
said 
mama 
i 
am really scared of
those 
big black cats in Miss Peggy's house 
and
that 
Miss Peggy's has a thick black mustache 
and 
i 
did not want to kiss her strange lips
will
i 
I was unable to pass through. 
Miss Peggy's house anymore
