Poetic in Tongue

Skeleton Man

Have you heard the tale

Of Skeleton Man?

He ate himself

He proved you can

It was 10 at night

He was hungry indeed

Waiting for his family

To return with the feed

But as it got later

And they didn't return

He stuck his finger in the fire Receiving a burn

It wasn't on purpose

Accident, it seemed

But at the smell of fried skin

His face beamed

And he took a bite

Just a try and that's all

And by now all you readers

Might be slightly appalled

But it tasted so good

And he was so hungry

That he stuck yet another

And ate the skin off thee

And he continued from there

Till all his fingers were eat

And his toes, hands, arms

And feet

His legs, his torso, and his head

He ate himself till he was dead

And all that was left were his bones......

....

....

He was later found among the stones....
