Krampus
by Michael Doyle

With his cloven hoofs he has come
To seek out lurkers in the kingdom
To those who would bring such evil
Krampus can do worse than bedevil

Reading as he does from the book of life
Restoring the peace to those who bring strife
Come along then with all of your selves
To be turned into Santa's toiling elves

All who practice in deception and lies
Best be aware of their coming surprise
For nothing escapes a life of wrong doing
As it turns tenfold and to their undoing

What is it then that you like to keep hidden
Those things that you do, you know are forbidden
It's best then to always keep in light and good
What you've sown will you sow, it's best understood
