Once upon a time
Not so long ago
There was a little boy
To the forest he would go
Mama warned him not to
Daddy told him no
So he pitched a fit
The worst tantrum he would throw
They said it was okay
But the dark part he was told not to stray
He promised he'd stay by
But he ran off giggling at his lie
He roamed the dark and played
Until night is when he stayed
He couldn't find his way back so he cried
He wandered about wishing he hadn't lied
He heard a voice behind him
So he turned around
Up upon a limb
A man he found
"Do you know the way? The way back to my home?"
He asked as he looked up at the other
"You see I'm all alone"
He wanted to go home, to see his father and mother
"Little boy little boy can't you see?"
The man said lowly
"You wandered away and now found me."
The boy backed away slowly
"You cannot leave just yet for we've only met."
The mans head turned all around
The boy made not a sound
"Little boy little do not flee for you are now with me"
The boy cried and begged to leave
"My mother and father are missing me!"
The man just laughed and grabbed him up
"You have certainly run out of luck"
The boy thrashed and squirmed around
His screams and cried did resound
"You shouldn't cry for you shall see"
The man grinned widely.
"It isn't wise to be sad around me."
The boy stared idley.
"For I am the smiler! Frowns are not welcome"
He grabbed the boys face and laughed.
"To a personal hell you have come."
He stretched the boys cheeks
So he bared all his teeth
And a two stitches he made
One on each side
The boy how he wailed
To no avail
For no one would hear his pleas
The man continued up to his eyes
And opened them far too wide
He stitched them as well
And laughed loudly
"My boy welcome to hell."
