Urban Legend

He lurks within the wooded paths
 And blends right in with the trees
 Your dreams will manifest his wrath
 And in your room this man you'll see

 If he should ever capture you
 You'll definitely come to harm
 He'll ask of you a question too
 Get it right and he'll break your arms!

 Perhaps it pays to be smart
 For if you get the question wrong
 He'll rip out your very heart!
 Your suffering wont be long

 If in your dreams he should appear
 Run as fast as you can
 For he is someone to be feared
 They call him,  Slender Man
