MURDERED!
DING! DONG! The clock strikes twelve.
The night is all still and dead,
Can’t you feel the dread?
DING! DONG! The clock strikes one.
Don’t dare breathe too loud,
You’ll stand out in a crowd!
DING! DONG! The clock strikes two.
Oh no a deafening scream,
Someone blocks the light of the moonbeam!
DING! DONG! The clock strikes three.
I feel the urge to go to the bathroom,
But someone stomps into my bedroom!
DING! DONG! The clock strikes four.
They wield their knife,
And take my life.
Now there’s a body on my bedroom floor!
