The Sinisterish Milkman

The Sinisterish Milkman

(For Halloween)

The sinisterish milkman from the world's end dairy

has a glint in the eye that makes you wary

and clinking bottles that are downright scary.

This cynic of a milkman brings no cheer,

just delivery bottles glacial with fear,

and his yoghurt price is far too dear!

The dark, dread milkman is near!.

From his early morning rise and growl,

cats see him, hiss, and the town dogs howl.

The maniac milkman is on the prowl.

Don't say I never warned you now!

From the night farm his float arrives my friend,

delivered to you from around the bend,

God knows when his evil round will end,

selling his all unholy blends.

Harbinger of hell, he comes,

skimmed milk topped with double scum,

and you can hide but it's best to run

from the milk float that rides to kingdom come.

Curdler of the eggs and cheese,

he roams the darkness at his ease,

old fashioned service made to please

and bring all good folks to their knees.

The sinisterish milkman knows your name;

just ignore him, he'll knock the same.

In the pre dawn selling butter

that makes you froth and twitch and mutter,

sells you milk that makes you spew,

and says it's really good for you.

The doorstep nutter at your door,

on his round for ever more!
