Kids were disappearing in a small town in Texas Their bodies before buried were washed to be cleanest They were found in the woods by the local authorities They blamed their deaths on ancient horror stories Mr. Eckles was a ***** old man who lived in a house on the hill From his room he could watch the children play, and bide his time, leaning on his window sill His body was found in a bear trap covered with leaves It was led to by the buzzing meat beas and fleas One last little girl would go missing before the killer was caught And by the time he was snared their bodies had begun to rot She followed him into the woods even though she was young He was trusted, with red hair and freckles her praises he sung At the age of eight he was killing with a baseball bat And when they found him he admitted to all of it He will miss elementary and junior high school He will be thrown into life still a young little fool
