The Hobbling Horror/Crazy Jake
The Hobbling Horror!
​
Dear boy, dear boy
So hushed you are.
Wandering, Searching,
Lost, limping in the dark.
Dear boy, dear boy
his hands so cold.
Hunger's mewling toy,
So bitter and cold.
​
The Hobbling Horror!
​
Whistling, whistling in the woods
Where whimsy children played,
Where watching in the woods
The Whispered Omen stayed.
​
Wandering, wandering in the woods
Where woodwind music bayed,
Where Jake with heart willed good
The Whispered Omen stayed.
​
One night, one night in the woods
Where wily children pranked,
Where Jake was towed through mud
The Whispered Omen stayed.
​
Wailing, wailing in the woods
Where under wick and flame
Where Jake was wrapped and bound
The Whispered Omen came.
​
And there it found him.
It found him.
Warping, warping in the woods
Where time was wrought and tamed
Where Jake would burst of blood
The Whispered Omen spake.
​
Whispered, whispered in the woods
Where deal was wanton made
Where Jake agreed he would
The Whispered Omen spake.
​
Wanted, wanted in the woods
Where Jake limped in the haze
Where wily children worry
The Whispered Omen ate.
​
Dear boy, dear boy
So hushed you are.
Scouring wooded void,
Bound, limping in the dark.
Dear boy, dear boy
with hands so cold.
Hunger's wretched toy,
So bitter and cold.
