    <br />
    Vincent Malloy is seven years old<br />
    Hes always polite and does what hes told<br />
    For a boy his age, hes considerate and nice<br />
    But he wants to be just like Vincent Price<br />
    <br />
    He doesnt mind living with his sister, dog and cats<br />
    Though hed rather share a home with spiders and bats<br />
    There he could reflect on the horrors hes invented<br />
    And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented<br />
    <br />
    Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him<br />
    But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum<br />
    <br />
    He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie<br />
    In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie<br />
    So he and his horrible zombie dog<br />
    Could go searching for victims in the London fog<br />
    <br />
    His thoughts, though, arent only of ghoulish crimes<br />
    He likes to paint and read to pass some of the times<br />
    While other kids read books like Go, Jane, Go!<br />
    Vincents favourite author is Edgar Allen Poe<br />
    <br />
    One night, while reading a gruesome tale<br />
    He read a passage that made him turn pale<br />
    <br />
    Such horrible news he could not survive<br />
    For his beautiful wife had been buried alive!<br />
    He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead<br />
    Unaware that her grave was his mothers flower bed<br />
    <br />
    His mother sent Vincent off to his room<br />
    He knew hed been banished to the tower of doom<br />
    Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life<br />
    Alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife<br />
    <br />
    While alone and insane encased in his tomb<br />
    Vincents mother burst suddenly into the room<br />
    She said: If you want to, you can go out and play<br />
    Its sunny outside, and a beautiful day<br />
    <br />
    Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldnt speak<br />
    The years of isolation had made him quite weak<br />
    So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen:<br />
    I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again<br />
    His mother said: Youre not possessed, and youre not almost dead<br />
    These games that you play are all in your head<br />
    Youre not Vincent Price, youre Vincent Malloy<br />
    Youre not tormented or insane, youre just a young boy<br />
    Youre seven years old and you are my son<br />
    I want you to get outside and have some real fun.<br />
    <br />
    Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall<br />
    And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall<br />
    The room started to swell, to shiver and creak<br />
    His horrid insanity had reached its peak<br />
    <br />
    He saw Abercrombie, his zombie slave<br />
    And heard his wife call from beyond the grave<br />
    She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands<br />
    While, through cracking walls, reached skeleton hands<br />
    <br />
    Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams<br />
    Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams!<br />
    To escape the madness, he reached for the door<br />
    But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor<br />
    <br />
    His voice was soft and very slow<br />
    As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe:<br />
    <br />
    and my soul from out that shadow<br />
    that lies floating on the floor<br />
    shall be lifted?<br />
    Nevermore    <br />
