from the ABC set Stuff & Things

There are things best left unread:
Like the Necromonicon.
Or the Daily Mail.

There are things best left unwed:
Like the Bride of Frankenstein.
Or the Groom from the Black Lagoon.

There are things best left undead:
Like a cat-in-a-box.
Or a particularly recalcitrant zombie.

There are things best left unfed:
Like the fires of dark Satanic mills.
Or a voracious and unwarranted ego.

There are things best left unbled:
Like those war story wounds.
Or a big, big heart.

There are things best left unshed:
Like a pair of sheer silk stockings.
Or a snakeskin layer of trust.

There are things best left unsaid.

comprehensive roundup, but I'm sure I could add a few.

I quite like the Necronomicon - can't see what the fuss is about. HPL's language is a bit creaky at times but his mind is an interesting bundle of stuff. I certainly wouldn't compare it to the Daily Mail.

Very good this.

All paths from that source lead to darkness. The Necronomicon is also pretty evil and nearly as bad. Very much enjoyed this one. :-)
