My Basement Is Not Scary!
My Basement Is Not Scary!
(Spoken like Boris Karloff... Please add a lisp!)
By Richard Stoner
My basement is not scary
If it’s MONSTERS that you like
Chaney, Lugosi and Karloff
Special names since being a tike
My basement is not scary
With MONSTERS to and fro
Magazines, models and toys
A collection continues to grow
My basement is not scary
With MONSTERS that go bump
Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride
And Fritz with his backside hump
My basement is not scary
Where MONSTERS are the task
Dracula, Mummy, Wolf Man
And a Phantom with a mask
My basement is not scary
If MONSTERS are your thing
Godzilla with his sidekick son
And Kong who is still King
My basement is not scary
If MONSTERS are your bag
With cauldrons and magic potions
And a witch who’s still a hag
My basement is not scary
With MONSTERS none too soon
Ben Chapman within the rubber suit
Of “The Creature From the Black Lagoon”
My basement is not scary
If MONSTERS are your vice
Signatures of the famous
Including Vincent Price
My basement is not scary
Famous MONSTERS all abound
Celebrating with FJA
Sci-Fi and Horror all year round
My basement is not scary
If MONSTERS you adore
Please do not tell me otherwise
Or I’ll say... “Nevermore!”
