Sydney was a naughty girl and got her fingers bit
A rabid dog was chasing her and jumped her in a pit
The canine jaws were strong and sharp and tore her flesh to shreds
Had she survived the loss of blood her rabies would need meds.
Young Simon liked to disobey and venture in the wood
So it was no surprise to find him strung up in a hood
The torture had been long and hard, his little body struggled
But now his head would be cut off for goblin boys to juggle.
Sweet Nester had an evil dad who sold her to some witches
So she became the cruel hags’ slave, forced to dig deep ditches
But they were graves for other kids who got lost on their way
Lured by the witches in the night, they’d never see the day.
George Martin was a fiery lad, as brave as he was stupid
He flirted heavy with a maid, said he was struck by cupid.
The lady was a werewolf, though, and not so kind to men
She ripped his gullet wide and then his throat she did open.
And finally came Percy who was partial to the night
He met a striking vampire who drove him out of sight
Then made the kid undead with the blood magic of the change
The two of them forever bound to make home on the range.
