MUMMIFIED

 

I must confide, I cannot hide,

this fear I have of the mummified.

For though they've died and lay petrified,

their curse still stalks today.

 

It began while I, a little guy,

believed  brother’s muttered mummylies.

And as I grew, his fibs did too,

I store them to this day.

 

So I’ll stay mortified of the mummified

(and things with Boris Karloff  eyes)

though it’s fear not rationalized,

and it knots my  tummyside…

who's wrapped up here, anyway?

Being scared of the mummy has obviously mummified you.
