The sun never shines On even the best of days Because of the house on Sixth Street Stares at Auntie May.
She screams and cries But no one hears The fear her throat is trapping. Maybe I should lend an ear.
Bumping and thumping The house goes a rumpling. I find it rather sparkling But not my Auntie May.
She screams of the body behind the door and the blood stains on the bedroom floor. Poor Auntie May has been screaming for years Of the monster that whispers in her ears.
Auntie May now sits in a trance. She is as quiet as a mouse in a trap. Poor Auntie May was sealed in her tomb. Then I realized that the house did move.
I looked for it the next day And found it by my Auntie Mays grave. Curious I knocked on the door And inside was horror galore.
Blood was on the floor like Auntie May did say But the body was gone That she screamed about the other day.
On the chair by the door I saw a figure sitting on the floor and to my dismay, I looked at the figures face And found it to be my old Auntie Mays.
The sun never shines On even the best day Because the house on Sixth Street Scares little Olivia May.
I was challenged to write a dark poem in a Dr. Seuss style. I think I did pretty well.
