Analysis of BLOOD BAYOU
Blood Bayou is calling you
Enticing you from your home,
Hoping to make you set out
For a horrid, watery doom.
Gater-like men reside there
In the smelly, slimy dank,
Even they fear the waterway
Sticking to the mud-slick bank.
Screeching fills the night-time
Deviant avians are flying by,
Luckless fishermen tread there
Unaware they're about to die.
Serpentine horrors slithering
About the blood-soaked ground,
Then rush out into Blood Bayou
At the slightest whispered sound.
Blood Bayou is calling you
To feed abominable things,
That and stalk the muddy bank
Foul-smelling noxious beings,
Nightmare creatures hiding
On the bank in loathsome reeds,
Leaping out at innocent fishers
To perform unspeakable deeds.
Wailing fills the night-time there
Crying fills up the daytime,
Mindless horrors slither and crawl
Throughout this blood-soaked clime.
THE END
