I grow
Into a man
A knife
Cut the bonds

An eye of newt
Tail of cat

Warthog’s nose
A vole’s toes
Firstborn son
Just for fun

Six bodies lie

How did they die?

Do no go into the wood

Dear old man, dear old man
Why do you not think I should?

Little girl, little girl
For goblins and specters there be

Dear old man, dear old man
They are nothing when compared to me

Lifelong

Feeling, knowing this is as good as it gets

Loved

For all time, you and me
Perhaps even longer

This is what’s worth living

Fail to breathe
Fail to know what’s going on

I can’t wait anymore

Open my eyes and let me feel

Let me feel

Upon his face, an eternal frown
A twisted smile turned upside-down

Giggles the Clown brings many things
Eerie pies and rubber rings
Enormous bats with latex wings

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

Homeless Harry is a homeless man

Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Who eats his dinner from a garbage can

Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Who loves when the kids come to visit

Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Eating well tonight, a leg of Bridgit

Today’s is a little fan poem about Daniel from Mur Lafferty’s Heaven series. This one in particular relates to her latest book in the series: Wasteland. While not all of these nursery rhymes will have to do with books I’ve read, the first two just came about that way because those two books have been in my head.

Daniel One-Eye
Is a pretty good guy
Don’t blind your sons for him

Kate will get mad
That will be bad
With consequences ever so grim.

Johnny, Johnny
Daddy and mommy
7 sons he sired

Misunderstood
He did no good
A better world he desired
