Norman Bates

All thought him such a nice young man
Agreeable, humble and shy
No suspecting the boogeyman
He wouldn't even hurt a fly

But late at night, when rain pounds down
He waits for unsuspecting prey
Like spider in his webby down
To catch them unaware this day

When caught he claimed insanity
Mother's voice calling out through him
Torment and twisted sanity
Until he's ripped in two - poor him.
