The Gobbly Goom
The evening moon is burning bright The door is locked-up nice and tight The world outside turns dark with gloom Beware dear children the Gobbly Goom
He stalks on leggies made of clay His face is yellow with decay His breath smells like a rotting tomb A nasty old brute is the Gobbly Goom
When midnight comes he roams the streets He looks for children bad to eats The child who doesn't clean his room Is'a tasty treat for the Gobbly Goom
I heard there was a boyish brat As dirty as a sewer rat And late one night he met his doom Carried away by the Gobbly Goom
There was a little girl they say Who always had to have her way She never learned to sweep a broom Guess what? Yup! She got served up as brunch to the Gobbly Goom
So all my little ones take care Mind your manner and comb your hair Do all the things good children do Or the Gobbly Goom will come for you!

I wasn't trying to pry into your personal life, just wondering hehe. Just wondered if you had any young children, so I could inform the authorities.
BTW ... can I call you Rick or Ron or something? RRW just don't feel right! LOL!
