Urban Legend
*Murder most foul. Rod Serling, Stephen King or Ellery Queen?
Picturesque place on the edge of nowhere, small town American life.
Suddenly subject to media glare, reports of the mayor's missing wife!
Search parties, rescuers, all on the scene with rumors of mischief afoot.
People keep asking, "What does it all mean?" Some lock their doors and stay

Old urban legend,
trapping the murder within;
Don’t approach the house.

Urban Lengend
His name is only whispered, his face is hardly seen
A legend to everyone that grew up on these streets
Some called him a vigilante, some called him a Saint
He carried out justice using his enemies blood as paint
He had his code of conduct that most men abided by
And if you chose to break it then

Your dreams will manifest his wrath
And in your room this man you'll see
If he should ever capture you

Perhaps it

Protector of the young and green
On the streets, the streets so mean

The urban legend, Sid, the lollipop

A Friend Went Missing - Urban Legend
A friend went missing,
I didn’t believe it was true,
They say she was kissing,
A boy whose fear she knew.
A friend went missing,
They say she was far away,
Safe and reminiscing,
In a charity shelter one day.
A friend went missing,
They say a girl was drowned,
Face down with water hissing,
Slight waves swirling around.
A friend went missing,
They say a body

Urban Legend-Gators In Nyc
Two teens shoveling snow that February day,
wanting to hurry up so they could play,
quickly shoveling heaping piles of snow,
into an open 1935 NYC manhole,
Seeing something move down in the hole,
both teens thought "holy mole!"
yelling theres a gator down in there,
wanting to help it out they showed little fear,
Getting a clothesline they helped drag it out,
