Captivation

 

With my compliments, marm ...

            Nightmare

 

They picked me up; they threw me down;

they kicked my head with ne’er a frown.

I tried my very best to scream,

although I knew it was all a dream.

 

Escaping from that vicious host,

stopping on the way for a bite of toast

and a nice refreshing cup of tea,

at a pretty wayside hostelry,

 

as I put one foot inside the door,

I could see that it didn’t have a floor,

and I fell down into a yawning hole,

on to a pile of Welsh steam coal.

 

And standing right there in the gloom

Of that dim and dismal basement room

stood my old teacher Mrs Eggar:

alias Sister Schwarzeneggar.

 

She snapped “ Boy, don’t you grovel,

but take a hold of that there shovel,

‘cos you’re gonna be a little toiler,

and stoke like hell that there boiler!”

 

after a while I quite fancied a break,

but the shovel had turned into a snake,

so I dropped it and I ran like hell,

as if I was under some magic spell.

 

Even as I was drowning in the deep,

I knew that I was still fast asleep,

So I forced myself deep breath to take,

and made myself become awake.

 

If you would your dreams be free of ghosts,

Never make repast of cheese on toast

Immediately before going to bed:

For it with pepper and mustard spread

Causes horrid dreams to fill your head.

 

And never, I pray, your fancy tickle

By adding to it some tasty pickle,

lest you in your midnight couching

find beings of Night around you crouching!

Not sure if it's catterel or doggerel
