What do you do when you have trouble finding words to fill a spooky epic poem? Why you plunder and corrupt old nursery rhymes of course!!!
There was an old woman who practiced Voodoo.
She had so many spirits, she didn’t know what to do.
She gave them rum, without any bread.
Quizzed them all soundly,
and questioned the dead.
This amuses me.
Is there a reason it has two less syllables than the original rhyme (at least the version with which I am familiar)? I don’t know whether you intentionally wanted to throw off the meter to make it seem more unsettling or unsettled, but for me it winds up mostly being distracting.
