FREAK SHOW
Come and see our freak show
Come and meet our monsters
Eyes wide, you'll be fine
Just follow where the wind blows.
Don't stray from the path please;
We shan't want to meet their wrath, please;
As we stumble through the dark, please
Watch your step as you go.
Hungrier they grow,
Blood stains the white-now-red snow,
You? Their meal? Don't be silly!
But please, dears, not so slow.
Here we come to an unmarked door,
A world-wide tourist attraction;
Now just step on through, one by one,
Yes, perfect! In such a fashion.
Ah! Not you;
For although there are only a few,
You have been specially picked.
You can meet our Cerberus,
A beautiful creature, full of tricks.
Alright! And here we arrive.
Now walk on though, don't be shy;
For this is the cavern in which they thrive,
And you my friends… I'll see you on the other side.
