ERIS BLESS THIS HOUSE
by Artemis Calliste
This house be safe from tygers wylde*,
Here only tame things domiciled:
No bogle, troll, or grinch allowed,
Nor motley mob nor creeping crowd.
Bless every thing within these walls,
No matter if it sits or crawls.**
Let mild weather be inside,
For those who 'neath this rooftree bide;
And too, if not enlightenment--
Then pizza***, love and merriment...
And if these lines seem slightly odd,
Be glad at least they mostly rhyme.
*Lions, leopards, hyenas and armadillos not covered
**Certain crawling things require additional coverage
***Extra cheese, unlimited toppings on Tuesdays
