To All Who Wonder

To all who wonder to all of you An urban myth, or is it true? A story that happens after dark A story set in a city park An escaped deranged one-arm man Who wears a hook in lieu a hand Has gotten free the radio blares He’s homicidal it declares Two young teens lost in love Practicing their craft then a shove Was it the wind moving the car Was it the maniac with the metal spar They both jumped up to attention He’s going out is his intention Oh! be careful she did rave No apprehension he was brave Another scrape upon the doors Her fear mounts, terror soars I’m going out he again proclaims She panics now, No! she exclaims Before she knew it the handle scrapes out the door the lover traipse he looks around to her dismay he jumps back in and wants to play she’s too upset I want to leave disgusted stomps the gas one big heave as they roar out she takes a look and on the handle a bloody hook So if you’re out on a darkened night Be careful make sure to do things right It might be true it might be fable But beware the hook if you are able

Bloody brilliant jeff, a joy and a pleasure to read. You have a creative imagination that is inspiring to little old me. Reminds me of an Alfred Hitchock scene from the 1960's, respect. Pete
