Smalltown Poets Smalltown Poets Monkey's Paw i held the monkey's paw and put my wishes into play to know the will of God, to show a motive for delay i'm holding on to find myself just one more wish i found a pot of gold or something shining anyway and caught in my reflection a conviction held a bay i crafted a cross to adorn my neck and finally earned my due respect and then a jewel encrusted crown to complement my priestly gown just big enough to wrihg me down and bring this temple to the ground from inside out without a sound i found a pot of gold today i held the monkey's paw and put my wishes into play thanked heaven for the trophies but i still had hell to pay so i brought my spoils to the altar's edge heard You say obey instead for all my labors and best laid plans i'd only earned a reprimand forevermore to understand that dreams come true can kill a man if never graced by sovereign hands i held the monkey's paw |
