ICE MAN

12/28/2025

Ice man cometh!

Says he has a gift for me!

A one-way ticket,

To a place I've never been!

Says I'll love it there!

And if I don't,

He doesn't care!

Ice man cometh!!

Says this home is only his!

And where I go,

Will be Bliss..

For him!

Ice man cometh!!!

He says the sun is bright!

Suits my color,

That isn't light!

Isn't right!

But you have to go!

Cuz the boss said so!

Ice man cometh!!!!

But he looks like me!

I don't get it, I say!

Just go your, he say!

No longer welcome anyway!

Ice man cometh!!!!!

Shackles rattling,

Run away!

Or stay..

Either way..

ICE man cometh!!!!!!
