There was a time
Everything was just normal
all was good
everything was possible
at least it should
By watching others
he learned how
to behave in society
and he made a vow
If he just could behave
like any other human
then sure it would be
a nice warm haven
And he found his prey
who was really gorgeous
she did not had a clue
about his nauseous cruelness
He butchered her to death
and prepared her flesh
so the next day he displayed
her meat that looked quite fresh
People came and bought sausage
that he wrapped into paper
and with an insane smile on his face
he shared this secret with his creator
