Melanie had flesh that\'d crawl
but not the way you\'d think;
It\'d sneak out of her room each night
and slither down the sink.
It wandered through the narrow pipes,
exploring darkened streets;
devouring cats and rats and bats
and other late-night sweets!
When like a nun arose the sun
a-slithering home it\'d go
to quietly creep and go to sleep
in the early morning glow
