In the water hole by Littleton’s Cave
There sits a rascal, a snarly knave
You can go down there if you are brave
But it might mean an early grave
He is a stranger, after all
He who lingers by that waterfall
Strangers are scary is what we teach
Stay slightly out of this weirdo’s reach
When a stranger becomes stalker, the life you lead comes into question. Was it something I said, that someone took offense . Was it your objection or endless rejections to suitors seduction that fell short of enticing and sorely lacking in suspense.
For what you can’t have, you’ll take in due time. Building up fluids to be spilled upon me, your wine.
At first you did frighten, enough to lose sleep. But, now I am learning, your patterns. Your needs.
Are you ready for me? I’ve something special lined up. I’m certain you’ll approve. It’s all those things that you love!
I’ll be home by 9, but you know this already. Having studied me carefully, unnoticed by many.
But, I quickly caught on to the times you invaded. An intruder made himself comfortable and in the closet he waited.
How cold was that blade when it entered your heart? Were you scared when I continued to snuff out your light?
Are you cold? Of course you are. Your dying. In the very manner you’d planned for me.
Sirens are getting closer. As for you, you’ll cease to be
Everyday you see strangers
not all of them are of danger
what if you find a new friend?
what if you find more than ten of them?.
Will you say hello or goodbye?
will you laugh or will you cry?
a process that goes through your mind.
Dangerous decisions
stranger danger visions
the outcome is a scary lesson.
Two wrongs don't make a right,
whether it's either easy or hard for you to decide
you'll know if you have fight or flight.
There is a man that everyone knows,
I'm sure he's dodgy,
even his pets nose glows.
There's something quite unnatural,
something not quite right.
He's been seen on peoples rooftops
in the middle of the night.
He slides down your chimneys
and breaks into your house.
He's very rarely seen,
he's as quiet as a mouse.
It's really quite a mystery
how he manages that
because the man lives on mince pies
and he really is quite fat.
So if you see this man,
there's no telling what he might do,
so shut your eyes,pretend to sleep
and be safe the whole night through.
Fractured Fairytales, Part Two,
A sordid little tale for you........
Stranger Danger!
Stranger Danger!
Lil' Red Riding Hood,
Alone in the woods,
Stranger Danger!
Who is this stranger?
It's the handsome Park Ranger!
Is he up to no good?
Prowling around in the woods?
Stranger Danger!
Stranger Danger!
Lil' Red Riding Hood,
Alone in the woods,
He's thrown away her phone,
Red Riding Hood feels all alone,
Now he's up to no good,
Bad news for Lil' Red Riding Hood,
Stranger Danger!
Stranger Danger!
Bad Park Ranger!
He's turned her into a ****!
And got her up the duff!
Stranger Danger!
Bad Park Ranger!
Now she's a single mother,
Should have had a better mother,
Letting her walk alone in the woods,
It's all come to no good,
Bad handsome Park Ranger,
He was quite deranger!
Stranger Danger!
Stranger Danger!
After Cinderella.
And her handsome fella,
Fractured Fairytales, Part Two,
A sordid little tale for you.........
"I map out my thoughts with words like roads and letters like the highlighting points of what is left in this ghost town..
I feel so lost without the soliloquy that is my guide.
Do you hear the terror as I scream out my true frustrations?
Mind, body, and soul escape through rhyme without reasons..
like time without the seasons.
I pull back when I feel you are getting far too close;
I breathe in, but always fear the inevitable choke.
So as I spit out my distaste for what I have written,
I will never truly show what I have always kept hidden.
If I dare to openly and honestly reveal myself,
It bares too much resemblance of a time when I placed my heart on a shelf.
When one becomes that exposed, it is no doubt a danger.
I tend to keep my closest close...
As close as a stranger."
