McGregor's Grotto

A forgotten, almost sacred hole

Lies in the shadow of the bramble knoll,

Into the foggy night we stole,

Down, down into McGregor's Grotto.

 

We crossed the steadily flowing brook,

With fear and trepidation shook,

And into the gaping maw we looked,

Down, down into McGregor's Grotto.

 

The icy cavern was eerily sublime

Covered in mud and moss and slime,

Over the scaly rocks we climbed,

Down, down into McGregor's Grotto.

My eye into the darkness strains

When frigid air seeped to our brains,

And blood ceased flowing through our veins,

Down, down in McGregor's Grotto.

 

Bursting out, we took our flight

Escaping from the horrid fright

Of what we saw that autumn night,

Down, down in McGregor's Grotto.

 

We swore to never bring to mind

The thought of what was left behind,

Down, down in McGregor's Grotto.

Down, down in McGregor's Grotto.
