Villagers Storm Frankenstein's Castle

Villagers Storm Frankenstein’s Castle

By Elton Camp

The huge stone castle looms high above the town
Night approaches & villagers uneasily look around

Yet another innocent of their number has been killed
With fear and a desire for vengeance they are filled

“It’s evil Dr. Frankenstein and the hunchback Igor.
We just aren’t going to put up with them anymore.”

An enormous, ugly monster has been lurking about
Frankenstein and Igor are to blame, there’s no doubt

In the graveyard, late at night, they have been seen
All swear they are doing things unholy and unclean

The villagers have had enough and ready to have a fit
Their flaming torches they very soon will have lit

They march en masse up to the hulking castle door
Torches thrown inside and soon it will be no more

What they don’t see is Frankenstein and his pal Igor
As they both slip quietly out of the castle’s back door

Then one day to the villagers’ horror and surprise
They’ll return, once again the populace to terrorize
