Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man?
Yes, yes!
The muffin man.
Who lives on Drury Lane.
We've all heard of the muffin man,
With nothing but murder
On his brain.
Have you seen the muffin man?
His bloodstained apron tells all.
If you'd like a blood muffin
Simply give him a call.
Hoping for a free sample,
The children run to his shop.
Not knowing what they're getting into,
All they get is their head chopped.
He bakes them up with great delight,
He likes the littlest best.
They seem to have that extra flavor
Much better than the rest.
The chimney pours out smoke
And the scent of young burning flesh.
He pulls out the finished muffins
And bites them while they're fresh.
Don't think it's just the little ones,
He takes all shapes and sizes.
Luring people to the oven,
And straight to their demises.
Do you know the muffin man?
Well, you're about to.
Why you ask? Well, because,
He's standing right behind you.

Wow. Very nicely written. Great rhyming. It would have been nice to see it split up at some point so its not one big chunk of writing, but it was still a very nice and thrilling poem.
Well done and good luc -
