Krampus Poem by Ima Ryma

Krampus is a creature from hell,
Horns and fangs and smelly dark fur,
Carries a stick and clangs a bell,
Seasonal bad Santa for sure.
Came to life in Alpine folklore,
Even before the Christmas days
To scare all the children galore,
For any misbehaving ways.
German for 'claw, ' Krampus tiz
All the better to grab onto
The children in the not nice biz.
Child - Krampus is coming for you.

Krampus takes naughty children, so
Get ready child - you're gonna go.
