The Barghest
A barghest is something I don't want to see.
This creature is a harbinger of death and tragedy.
As I look behind me, it is following me closely.
The barghest wants another victim, and it has its eyes on me.
Resembling a dog which is man's best friend,
it portends an egregious and untimely end.
Dreadful barghest, I just want you to stay away.
Go and stalk some other unfortunate today.
