Intruder

Who dares, intruder

Beware my shooter 

My meshuga seeks lunar approval

Call a man about the removal of the remains before the funeral

Who on my portcullis knocks 

Who in my scullery skulks silk stockinged 

Who longs so much to be a skull upon my mantelpiece 

That they breached the keep and therefore my peace

If I find you, mouse to cheese, I won’t let you speak, no saying your piece 

No final prayers, just sweet release

Your blood will grease 

My bannister, I’ll wheeeeee 

Down them after your deceased 

I’ll send you to the outcrop out East 

Just you in pieces, ceaseless tides and barnacle geese.
