Silent Night

There once was a girl named Abigail Hook She was a girl who knew how to cook A pleasant woman she became known But the darker side of her was never shown It was a dark and stormy night A little girl was lost with fright Abigail told her to come in from the rain As the girl came in, she felt no more pain Abigail offered her a wee bit of snack While eating, Abigail put her coat on the girl’s back. “Tasty and crunchy”, the little girl said As she looked in a jar, she fainted flat on the bed When the girl woke up, she was tied to the floor There were bars on every window, and chains on the door Abigail was standing there, just to linger And the girl noticed that she just ate someone’s finger “You must swear to tell no one about this” The girl said, “Wait until the town hears about this” Abigail took a needle and pierced it into her lips Chopped off her head, and cut her body into teeny bits She made the girl a shrunken head, Turned to me and said, “Say a word and you’re the next one dead.”
