The Twilight Zone

There once was a man named Rod Serling,
Whose tales were quite frightening and sterling.
Across the airwaves, strange futures he brings,
He'd show you odd truths of all different things.

A woman who was quite a brat,
Was shrunken down and sat on a mat.
By the window, a strange shadow grew,
She'd lost her whole world in a flash and flew.

A doll came to life, what a fright,
In the middle of the dark night.
From the toy box, she slowly did crawl,
She'd come to get revenge on them all.

A man who loved books more than life,
Lost his world and his terrible wife.
His glasses were broken, what a sad end,
He'd been given a life with no one to befriend.
