Homework 6/Sep/ Statues in the Lake
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2021 2:12 pm
Very rushed this month.
The Statues in Lake Ballard are real enough.
STATUES IN THE LAKE
Bills been on the slops again as usual, and he’s crook today,
yet he’d driven way out to a lake, that's many miles away.
Ballard is a salt-lake where some weird statues now reside
and supposed to have been copies of nude people with no pride.
Two snags short of a barbie, all of them, if you’re asking me,
such grotesque and ugly looking things you’ll ever likely see.
Bill had decided that a hair of the dog was needed now,
just to stop that box of hammers crashing in his skull somehow.
Trouble is with Bill, that first small sip - a pathway into hell,
where hallucinations and the horrors manifest as well.
Useless as a chocolate teapot he then stagers to the lake,
coming face to face there with a statue - more than he can take.
He starts screaming at the sight of it and must get out of there,
only then to see great hideous like monsters everywhere.
Sure this is a warning, and the lord has given him a nudge,
when he makes it to his ute, he’s now as sober as a judge.
