Once Upon The Dreary

An experiment.

Once upon a night so dreary

The battles of the day carried on

Tired and starving they were weary

Of the midnight sound of the church bell

For death comes after all who ponder

It's guilty widow weeps for none

It prowls the towns and badlands for all who wander

And gives them all no chance to run

It comes in the forms told to the young

Taking all kinds of man, woman, and child

It comes for all as their bell has rung

Watch for the chill and it's desht that will follow

Such cursed lives and endless miseries created by you

Shall bring the reaping of you all one day

Watch as the clock grows closer to the day being through

For then it's time and the piper you must pay

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
