When darkness falls over the town of Port Ferry a chill is coming.
The sting in the wind is humming. Matilda’s coming.
She comes for the last tooth as if it’s her last rites.
If I peek when she comes then it’ll be my last night.
What she took before in kindness she now takes to avenge.
A look upon her scarred countenance will warrant revenge.
Only one weapon can protect you from her vengeful sight
Flee from the dark of the shadows and stick to the light.
Make a compatriot from wherever the light is.
For Matilda Dixon when the light falls, darkness rises.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
