It’s tall and lanky

Umbrella in hands

__

Both thin and shaky

Hiding sinister plans

__

Two eyes of glass

Match a butterfly of blue

With a grin made of wax

_That is begging to know you _

__

I don’t know what it is

Whether skeleton or ghoul

But I will not move closer

For I am no fool

__

Paralyzed by fear

And frozen in time

I wipe a glass tear

_From eyes that are no longer mine _

__
