The Wockerns
Listen to Fi read her poem ...
Hear the wockerns’ wildsome wails!
With fire-lit eyes and thrashing tails
(which dance in eerie synchrony),
they take their footsteps silently.
So, when their wails cannot be heard,
hold your breath! Do not be stirred
to think you’re safe, ‘cause if you do…
a wockern might creep up on you!
With fire-lit eyes and thrashing tails
(which dance in eerie synchrony),
they take their footsteps silently.
So, when their wails cannot be heard,
hold your breath! Do not be stirred
to think you’re safe, ‘cause if you do…
a wockern might creep up on you!
