The mist moves slowly across the water
soon it will hit the shoreline I call my daughter
she runs from the house, spellbound
we watch it roll in making not a sound

It's an eerie silence somewhat suffocating
even the ripples lapping have diminished
I ask my daughter, can you hear that
what the **** is it, coming to shore

The smell is overbearing
Larna I think we should go back to the house
whatever that is in the water
I don't think it's good for our health

I grab her hand and run with her
jesus this time I have no guns
what luck
I am usally packed to the nines

I bolt the door and ask my daughter to get the knives out
whatever it is it's ****** coming this way
we can hear it gasping laboriously
then hear it pounding at the door

I ask my daughter have we bleach
as we have a gas cylinder here
maybe if we blow the crap out of it
we will have nothing to fear

Something This Way Comes Part Two,

As the thumping gets louder
I say to my daughter have you a lighter
she says no I gave up when you did
and all I can think is oh ****!

The wooden door does start to splinter
I don't think we should hide behind the sofa
as I shake my daughter soo transfixed
let's get to higher ground quick sticks

Suddenly the door burst open
and there in the doorway is a most grotesque creature
with many tentacles abashedly flaying about
I scream hey don't hit the lampshade, I just bought that

But I think this monstrous creature has food on its mind
hell has no fury with our ***** on the line
It comes closer so its eyes you see
and in a polite voice asks can I have a cup of tea
