Leprechaun

There he sits

Almost a lost soul

Atop a gravestone

A funny little creature

Piping his bowl

Swinging his legs

Back and forth

To and fro

Jagged little smile

Haunting eyes

Shackled boots

Whispering rhymes

A glimmering top hat

Knickers of a dark shade

Wicked emerald jacket

Almost Jade

Black leather bowtie

A twisted limb

Right by his side

It aided him

Cringing as he steadies

Upon the soil

Chewing on

A fresh picked boil

Hobbling away

We heard him cry

A devil's tale

And a lullaby

Back in the shadows

From where he dwells

Hinder off into a fog

To bask in hell

Curiosity, they say

killed the cat

Ours left us dead

Right where we sat
