Revealing the sins of the killer, dont you know?
Poe!

Of black ravens on busts of plaster,
he swore to the core
Nevermore!
Poe!

All for the love of his lost love Lenore
he waited to join her in death
with each hour hed seek
growing weak,
In his heart the beak, EEK!

Speaking at the midnight hour, weak and weary,
nearly fallen!
Sat the black bird on his talon.
Allen!

If horror is what you would know,
curl up my dears with a book of Poe!
Bathe your thoughts in malcontent!
As the pit and pendulum meant
Ah the fatal swoosh and swing!
Death is lowering, lingering!

Readers are left no escape;
Fatal poison, ruby grape!
I wish him well as he departs,
Leaving nightmares in my heart!

A maligned genius dont you know!
Good by to Edgar Allen Poe!
