I walked across the white room And a cold hard thing fell on my toes One of those A permanent toothy smile - but fell from where? It was this skull Not as white as the room Not as sharp, rather dull Off-white and odd I still had no clue of where it came I picked it up and looked it all over The old head, empty and eerie The skull stares, it really does! Black hole eyes consumed my curiosity Replaced it with fright The skull had no other bones I looked all over and couldn't find a body So I dropped it like it was a hairy spider Rolling a few feet away, I swear, It still stared at me.

The Skull
I walked across the white room And a cold hard thing fell on my toes One of those A permanent toothy smile - but fell from where? It was this skull Not as white as the room Not as sharp, rather dull Off-white and odd I still had no clue of where it came I picked it up and looked it all over The old head, empty and eerie The skull stares, it really does! Black hole eyes consumed my curiosity Replaced it with fright The skull had no other bones I looked all over and couldn't find a body So I dropped it like it was a hairy spider Rolling a few feet away, I swear, It still stared at me.
