And then Frankenstein appears
The world is scarier now
Things calm down a bit

Who was learning to play the piano.
She was doomed to fail,
And started to wail -
And now she’s a world class soprano....

Prayed for an audience who’d adore her
She took some voice lessons
Made some costume concessions
And on Samhain’s eve sang an aria....

Horizons all banished
The future witholds its frozen escape
A banshee template
China in the furlough
Riding breathless with chemical ghosts...

Last night I heard the banshee,
After a few swigs of whiskey,
And after I heard her scream,
I poured some Bailey's and cream.
Now I cannot hear her nor see.

Men have pondered it throughout history.
Some say it is evolution.

the entire room just startles;
Floating a banshee howls loud 
proud;

Dire message 
of an impending passage;
Not a thing could make this curse 
worse....

I am the scary Bella
I haven't got a fella 
To bring me my umbrella
in the pouring rain.

Had one, he was yella
Kicked in his patella
Ran away from Bella
limping, screaming pain....

An imp plied Guinness to a Banshee trick
The wraith in anger gave him chase right quick,
After her gold he did dig

When the sky is clear and the stars are bright 
The wind makes a creepy flow 
Like a weeping banshee blow 
The brave old dogs cry in fevery fright...

After popping out they threw away the damn key
He'll never be matched
A weirdo' was hatched
Screamed bloody murder like a hairy ass banshee...

Went to the beach today, silly old me
Between raindrops, could actually enjoy it, what glee
The girlies did astound
They crowded all around
Had to calm down, was screaming like a banshee...

Trying to look like she belonged
At the Scottish wedding 
Death found her

And escorted her out
Wrong wedding he cautioned her
She was young, 
Glad she had saved her wail....

Surrounded by soundless screams,
the wailing woman in white
presents herself.
With eyes, 
as red as a crimson rose
freshly picked from a young garden.
Awaiting the chance to claim
the tears of a grim soul....

Still, I have a severe fright for banshee
Once I felt, I saw her under a tree
It made my poor brain sizzle
And on bed, made me drizzle.
At night, hearing a shriek, I had to flee.
