at dusk


by corinne delmonico




samuel was a spider
felicia was a fly
kenneth was a dragon
with a twinkle in his eye

leonard was a lion
boris was a bat
amanda was a little girl
who thought the earth was flat

they all got together
in the old house at dusk
pamela was the parlor maid
who never had much lusk

jenkins was the lawyer
who was to read the will
but he had a spot of bother
and was nabbed by old bill

out in the distance
a train whistle cries
carrying away the prophets
who thought they were so wise

they all sat in the parlor
waiting for their tea
they can wait there forever
if it were only up to me
