The Macabre Castle

by Ged Thompson

The Macabre Castle
 
The macabre castle stood on the hill
Long since forgotten as though time stood still
 
Just close your eyes now and picture this scene
A castle so scary no Childs ever been
 
The sun doesn’t’t shine on its great grey cold walls
And even the battlements look lonely in the rain as it falls
 
And the drawbridge resembles the teeth of...
