The Mulahad

The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

The Mulahad's an evil beast,
that hunts at night for prey;
entrapping hapless souls, on which
it feasts throughout the day.

Its teeth are seven inches plus
and needle sharp, what's more.
All those it captures soon become
a pool of blood and gore.

All Hallows' Eve is when it dines
on children that it meets.
As soon as it's digested them,
it gobbles down their treats.

There's no respect for pious folk
within its stone-cold heart.
It cackles in demonic glee
while ripping them apart.

This vile abomination is
relentless in its drive;
devouring humans by the score
is how it stays alive.

While they are sitting at their desk,
it slithers from behind
and, as they gaze upon their screen,
starts feeding on their mind.

I need you to be quiet now,
don't make the slightest sound.
No matter what you hear, I beg you...

do not turn around!
