candy man

c'mon kiddies
gather round
the candy man is in town
stopping by
in his neon wagon
laughs of merriment can be heard
the children stare
awed and amazed
tasty smells tickle
sugared sweets tantalize
tongues tingle with greed
he saunters out
with a spring in each step
velvet jacket swaying
splattered in cherry drips
with a bony white finger
he beckons them in
putting on a convincing grin
hooking them on a lure
he gives them a little tour
but the tike's do not notice
when he locks the wooden doors
his scheme waiting to deplore
as the children begin to explore
they notice strange secrets
and horrifying facts
lips simmer in pots of wax
bloodshot eyes get a candied coating
severed hands creep the floor
gory toes harden in chocolate swirls
rotten blood simmers and splashes
the children scream in shock
there's no escape
what a disgusting trick
and right on time
he steps from the corner
sharpening fine knives
eyes cold as ice
wispy charcoaled hair
he displays sardonakist sneer
showing his decayed yellow teeth
with a twisted cackle
and a demonic jeer
he counts the children
licking his lips
red saliva trickling down
his pointed chin
he must make sure there's enough
but how sad
he's one short
slowly he twists his neck
in a sickening way
curiously surprised
he plays a outstretched smirk
he'll be needing you next
