A cursory rhyme about a bogeyman who's coming to getcha!

lyrics

ELI SKANKO

Eli Skanko!

Whose house is on fire?
Whose children are all gone?
Who grand parades the promenades
With a pink pomeranian?

Says a pig’s tail is twirly
But for his foes it’s too late
If they’re not singing in Hell they’re ringing the bell
Of St. Peter’s gate.

Who knows the combinations
So there’s no safe safe in town?
Who knows your fetish, turns your brain to lettuce
Your red letter day to brown?

Eli Skanko!

Who will take your left leg
And throw you down the stairs
And twist your mind to think he’s kind
As he’s chopping up your chairs?

Who sees nothing in beauty
Beauty in nothing, too?
Ambiguity, for him, can only mean one thing
A shoe is a shoe is a shoe.

And with a crooked shilling
Who lives in crooked style
With sword-boots frightening, who kicks lightning
With a crooked smile?

Eli Skanko!
Eli Skanko!
