The Grim-Reaper The Grim-Reaper walks these halls Luring quitters with his calls Unsuspecting arrivals with no choice Smell the staleness of his voice His castle becomes your home Unaware that you're there to roam Walking in limbo you catch a whiff Enter a room to see yourself lying-in stiff |

Well all I can say is this is kinda grim, Reaper guy. The first verse gets kinda stale, and the second kinda stiff, you'd think it was about death or something...lol and the whiff line has way too much smell to it for me. Get that ghoul outta my house. Parker |

WOW I inspired someone  This means that if you make money out of this poem I get 60% of the money, right!?!lol just kidding. great poem especially loved the first verse The Grim-Reaper walks these halls Luring quitters with his calls Unsuspecting arrivals with no choice Smell the staleness of his voice. "When the first living thing was created, I was there, waiting. And when the last living thing shall perish, my job will be done. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave." Death ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? " Douglas Adams. "Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Do not listen to a word I say Just listen to what I can keep silent" Nicky Wire |
