הלקסיקון

Today my friends,

you're out of luck.

Because, the first person you're going to meet,

really does suck.

Bittern Barkis is his name,

a foul man with a foul desire.

His greedy hunger for silver and gold,

turned him into a liar.

He deceived many,

one of them, his supposed bride.

Who he killed in cold blood,

then ran off to hide. 

Still in her gown

and walking amongst the living dead.

The Corpse bride continued to search,

for the groom that fled.

Hopeless and lost,

our bride went to seek some advice.

She knocked on Elder Gutknecht's door

and told her story of betrayal and vice.

Elder Gutknecht was very wise

and knew straight away.

She must seek the pumpkin king,

without further delay.

Past the purple bubbling pond

and through the haunted wood.

She found Halloween town

and oh! wait! there Jack Skellington stood!

She told Jack - the pumpkin king,

her tale and suddenly stopped.

Her Maggot appeared,

as her eye popped.

The Maggot spoke,

while staring at Jack.

He said they should talk to the Major,

so they had to turn back.

The Major was a jolly fellow,

well.. over all of course.

In a second he sometimes turned bitter

and I think his two faces were the source.

Back to our bride

and her Skellington friend.

They passed by Oogie Boogie's,

that place in Dark End.

Oogie Boogie was a nasty

piece of work.

Passing by his darkness - they saw,

Oogie's ever lasting smirk.

Jack and our Corpse bride,

couldn't find the Major at all.

But they bumped into Zero,

who was chasing his jumping ball.

Jack looked at Zero

and knew what to do.

He gave Zero to the bride,

so she wouldn't be so blue.

Our Corpse bride thanked Jack

and began smiling once more.

Finally, she feels no pain

and has someone to adore.
