I filled my house with marvelous beasts
But they’re such a chore to house and feast.
The dragon snores and fires the drapes.
The zombies eat my guests and traipse
About the house, losing limbs. The Cerberus
Is just impossible to feed three times, the ouroboros
Is always in the way and chewing on himself,
And the banschee wails when I’m off my health.
The brownies try to keep the whole place clean
But hydras bite, and orcs are just plain mean.
So if you think you want a myth menagerie,
Think again, or come borrow one from me.
I’ll give it to you cheap, for a song
And all the noisome fairies will sing along.
And by the time you realize you’re caught.
I’ll be long gone.
