The Ward

I know a place that we can go to escape this dreary prison The floor right there secures the stairs that lead up to the room that's hidden While walking down don't turn around the dark can find your fears The sounds you make can truly take the place of your worst Nightmares So bring a light and hold on tight don't stray from where your headed There's many rooms doors of doom and a path that leads to heaven So listen close to the wooden ghost that stands at the top and glares He'll let you in with a grin then point but please don't stare He's the nervous type not real bright still willing to point the way So walk straight down then turn around make sure the dark is kept at bay Once you find the words that rhyme a door should open after So walk right in let us begin the journey to a greener pasture I bet you thought you were close to the end of your twisted stay Truth be told you can never go this is your home till the end of days Find the room that's made of balloons and snuggle up under your blanket Never try to leave at night or the beast will feed on your carcass Now you've been told what you already know about your wonderful vacation So take the drugs they give with love so we can leave this dreary prison R.K.H. 8/12/2020
