A Famous Villain

A Famous Villain

Northants Writers Ink were asked to write about a famous villain

Are you that smell at the end of my snout?

Or the shadow I saw, when the lights all went out?

Are you the creak at the window, I mistook for a bird?

Or the underfloor scratches, I also thought that I heard?

Are you the presence I feel all of the time?

That makes my skin creep and makes my hair climb?

Im learning about you, I don't like what I hear,

you fill me with dread, and you fill me with fear.

They say you're a villain, you're out for my soul,

confusion and mayhem are your despicable goals.

I think that I know you, know what you're all about,

If you ever come near me, I'll scream and I'll shout.

Sick to my stomach, I feel all the time,

when you fill others with lies, and bells they do chime.

You're quick and you're vicious, but most of all mean,

You don't care who you've chosen, and you've never been seen

I imagine you know me, you're plotting deceit,

I'm hoping to God, that we never meet.

You keep us all guessing, you keep us all thinking,

we better watch out, don't waste our time blinking.

You're the subject of stories, since times of old,

You're out to destroy me, like a cough or a cold.

Just when I think that I've worked you out,

You surprise me, and get me,

The Famous Villain is... Doubt.
