The Foggfather
Foggy makes Daniel an offer he can’t refuse.
Daniel woke up smiling for the tricks he’d played on Fogg
Oh how he’d given him what for
But the smiles soon turned to screams
Screams to haunt his dreams for ever more.
At the foot of his bed in a pool of blood
The head of his much loved parrot
His little body no longer there
Severed by garrotte.
He held the tiny head quite close
And whispered in it’s ear
“I loved you little birdie
Please, please don’t leave me here”.
His little eyes just opened
And he smiled like a ruptured wren
That tiny beak was trembling, as he said
“Who’s a pretty b..o..y t…h…e……n.”
Daniel’s howls spread o’er Daytona
My trusted friend is dead
But the parrot opened just one eye
“No I’m not” he said.
“Before I go you have to know
I saw him creeping up the stairs with eyes agog
Rope in hand he looked real grand
It was. It was.. it was………..Dr Fog………………..g”.
