Something Wrong In the House On the Corner

He walked past the gate which led to the door to the cellar Remember, remember, remember! The bird call cried to shatter the still quiet with high pitched thunder Raindrops fell to create a slither of water Remember, remember, remember! The path glistened in the sun under falling water The bare feet splashed that path as she was pulled down and driven under Remember, remember, remember! In the dead of night the walls of that room cry and shudder Somethings now dead haunt the dark of that cellar The barn owl avoids the route through the pane-less, broken window A moonlight silhouette of girls lined up in the cellar Remember, remember, remember! A boy he was, not past 8 when he saw something wrong in the house on the corner! Like a cat curiosity drew him over From what he saw he will never recover! Remember, remember, remember.
