This is a poem about a very strange school, conjured from my odd mind. Please review. |
Are you weird? Have you ever wanted to be? Well, I know I am So come to school with me. I go to a school called Clown of the Lake And that chimney you’re seeing is really a snake. Come inside, timid one, there is nothing to fear Except for those zombies over there with a sneer. They’re really quite friendly, once with them you play But people don’t look past their ghastly decay They are all the right people in all the right way And they dance by the moon with me night and day In their rottingly charmingly zombieish way And I know this, oh normal one, I’ll teach you this soon- Playing with zombies is fun. Come inside, in our world of so called fright Mistaken, it’s a world of nightmarish delight Where cricket-men sing in the dark hallowed halls Take my hand if you will, there’s a lot to befall When you walk claw-in-claw with the ways of the weird And you sing and you dance with the animate beard All of your normal, stiff ways will have cleared Replaced by an essence of dark dreary life. Come into the different locker bay Where the misfits and monsters keep their stuff stored away In my locker there’s a black locust host And in Macie here’s locker, a gargantuan ghost In another is a game show host Whose head grows down by his feet. Meet Markl, my friend, and a fright to behold But only we know he has a heart made of gold You’d never suspect it unless you’ve been told For he is a boy made of slime. Here at Clown of the Lake, throw your troubles away And stalk by night and howl by day And don’t be afraid to step out of the fray To dance with the creatures of deep. Our teachers teach math, science, P.E., by day To be used in the creepiest possible way But by night the studies kick in, shall we say We learn all the secrets of dark. Over here is the lunch room where we eat all our meals While lunch lady werewolves have charming appeals And when we are done we return to our dorms To chatter and exist like the weird ones we’ve formed And are happy to be here at Clown of the Lake Where our uttermost nightmares come true. After school is over and the parties burn out After we laugh and we scream and we howl and we shout After all of our existence is an uttermost doubt And after, of course, all the lights are turned out We return to the world to say hi to the normals Who don’t really know what they’re missing. So my friend, I hope you’ve discovered us, though That the wierdos in life are the best ones to know And now you’re my friend I’ll take off my costume and show That I am a zombie, too. |
