Come to the manor now

An invitation advanced you in a strange manner

An envelope put in your hand by a strange man

Away quickly, you caught neither face

Nor name, you could not be blamed he moved like blazes

His gait seemed to change before the vision faded

Alas, you could not say for sure, you obey

The letter to the letter, confessing I will do what it states

The laneways are grotty but the haunted grotto is stately

The manor is inside an estate, tasteful but plain, gated

Lit by blazing brazier flames, essence of mediaeval ages.
