<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 />
