![]() The Jersey DevilA Poem by Bo LanierWell
something of a Blair Witch documentary The
three of us on dark, dark October night We
parked our car and took our flashlights Deep
into the pitch black woods trying to prove Or
disprove the legend of the ghost man Well
maybe it's just the idea of it all but I do Feel
like I'm being watched, don’t you feel it to Wait
a minute, stop, look and listen don't you hear That,
it sounds like it's coming from over there And
all around us, I said hello is there anyone There,
you said boy do you really wanna know Well
I don't know about you but why don't we Just
forget about this and go home but she Became
speechless and as we turned around we Came
face to face with THE JERSEY DEVIL... I
never ran so fast in all my life trying to make It
back to the car and the old dirt road and to be Honest
with you I forgot all about them 'cuz it's Now
I know there are things in the darkness Wicked
and abnormal, thank God for watching Over
us but I don't think I'll ever sleep again... Oooh
Jeepers creepers and now here we are Again
after twenty years going down that same Ole
dirt road and I'm just sitting on pins and Needles,
you’d think me crazy if I told you why Sometimes
you just have to prove yourself wrong Because
after all these years you still can't believe You
saw what you saw with your own two eyes And
but if I saw what I think I really saw well I
can't believe I'm still alive and if you don't Believe
me just go ahead and ask them, ask them The
night from out of the twilight zone, the night We
came face to face with THE JERSEY DEVIL I
remember it as tho it were yesterday even to this Day
I still have nightmares of that dark, dark October Night,
the night we came face to face with the JERSEY
DEVIL and ran, ran for our lives! © 2016 Bo Lanier |
