Thro' swampy bogs and misty fogs,
we fester and wait for victim's to bait.
Trinkets and baubles in our haste go to waste,
for all we want to do is taste.

'Thine quarterstaff for a camel! '
The pilgrim fumed, in a far away land
upon vast dunes of sand;
whence water hitherto is ort but found
...
Rake-Hell, born of flame, a devil true;
evil thro' and thro'. Tis nay wise to utter
his name; for fear he lingers near,
to cut you from ear to ear.
...
Thou would nought find a more fiendish
gal-ere of ne'er do wells than that of
the Moth and Ivy. For nay would a wise-man
set foot in such a tavern of low repute

'Luck be a lady! '
A pirate captain decreed, as he played
his daring hand. He risked a ship from

An infamous fiend named Tat had lunged
at the bard from behind, one nick of his
knife spelt certain doom to life, for it was
magically twisted with evil inside
...
Oblivion; eddies, tender tit-
illation, spearheaded fluctuation;
egressing from throat's abyss, our Father
and Mother's virgin tongues lock in tranquil bliss.
...
In town square's late moon, afore the crow could croon.
A filch'er darted hither and thither
between stalls and merchant hauls.
Such was the filchers way to prowl
...
Timelessly majestic, momentous blink.
caught awry as it chips at armors chinks.
Imperfect crescendo innuendo
dryly washes over us; wearing us.
...
Supersede love from lust as we lie free;
sincerely aware and perplexed in doubt.
The pretender of the sea; readily
ready for sleepless sleeps as we lie free.

O fear, fear will it die! ?
Nightly terror here I spy!
fated ere' to meet thee rake,
come hell darkly shape.

Sepulcher (I)
Thro' swampy bogs and misty fogs,
we fester and wait for victim's to bait.
Trinkets and baubles in our haste go to waste,
for all we want to do is taste.
Flesh sublime,
Souls divine.
No bones to creak, or lips to shriek,
only eyes to seek, and teeth to eat,
the bitter meat, that smells so sweet.
Topless man proud and loud,
with skill in arms and idle charms,
wades aloof, thro' muck too thick for horses hoof.
Hope but lost his sword is tossed,
although unstable, he is quite able
to clamour forth, through marsh and mire,
as we plot and conspire.
Pots to boil we do bring,
but not to toil or to sing.
The rain comes fierce as it doth pierce.
Despite man's fight to gain a grip
he slips and trips on slick of wick.
This topless man no longer proud,
although still loud is swallowed by
our hallowed ground.
The swamp content with man's lament
lets out a sigh of bubble and broth.
No ort is left but bones picked clean
its gleam ne'er to be seen.
New baubles and trinkets now lie in wait
for the next victim for us to bait.
For ever more our numbers dwindle
but rise whence souls transpire upon the mire.
It is with this that our very
equilibrium exist...
The fickle lesser evil.
Fi! fi! fi!
This dreaded curse oh, aye!
For it has claimed many souls.
Fee, fo, fum.
All within our tummy tum tum.
