The Candy Lady

Luring children to their deaths
with candy left on window-sill,
the Candy Lady's trick - EVIL!
We imagine voice so shrill.

"Come inside, I've more for you..."
and so the children went in room.
Evil on a silver spoon.

A child's teeth were found on ground,
and the body close behind.
The teeth had wrapper bright as day -
sweet wrapper from the candy play.

"Come inside..." Child went in room...
Such evil on a silver spoon.
