The Centipede
by Ogden Nash
I objurgate the centipede,
A bug we do not really need.
At sleepy-time he beats a path
Straight to the bedroom or the bath.
You always wallop where he's not,
Or, if he is, he makes a spot.
"Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant"--Cary Grant.
Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand.
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y'awl's Neighborhood.
And Whomsoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell.
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom.
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist
The Evil Of The Thriller.
[Maniacal Laugh]
"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"--John F. Kennedy
