A Maniac's Nursery Rhyme

By Michael Robinson

Tick Tock

You hear the time

Midnight on the clock

Guess the crime...

I'm going to slay

Everyone in town

Those in my way

Blood is all around...

Building shall burn

See the sparks

Oh, it's my turn

Time to make my marks...

One, two, three

You can't find me

Four, five, six

Sharpen your sticks...

Seven and Eight

Oh, you slow fool

It's too late

Isn't life cruel..?

Whose next

On my list

To hear the hex

Follow me into the mist...
