The Black Annis

Leicestershire oh  Leicestershire
It's portaging on the definition of Blue
Eating lambs and children
Tying the children's skin around her waist like a trophy
Her howling is a terrifying fright
Don't go to her cave the oak tree in front
Don't look at her face Madness will consume
The Black Annis will kill tonight

I have no idea in my ignorance what the black Annis is but this is a fine piece of poetry Damon
Love it
