Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: The Loo

When I go to The Loo
I hear it make scary sounds
Our Loo is just a hole
Dug way deep in the ground
Every time I take a poo

Then comes the scary sounds
The poo eating creature smiles


Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: Pitter Pat

Pitter pat, tit for tat
An eye of newt
Tail of cat
Warthog’s nose

Giggles the Clown loves to play
Step inside his clown car today
Your smile is the only thing you’ll pay

Who loves when the kids come to visit
Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Eating well tonight, a leg of Bridgit

Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: John Alpha

Came up with this in the car this morning, a little something about John Alpha.  I’ve been thinking about Book 1 of J.C Hutchins’ 7th Son and how I can’t wait to dip into Book 2.
Johnny, Johnny
Daddy and mommy
7 sons he sired
Misunderstood
He did no good
A better world he desired
