A dark twist on an old tale

Aug 18, 2009 19:39

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor dog a bone;
When she got there, the cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

This went on a week, with both getting weak,
No sign of a meal, stale or fresh;
Then the old woman died and her doggy, he cried,
But ate, for a time, of her flesh.

Ah, scratch that. It was a bad suggestion, because they do not apparently have a web presence. It's a horror magazine and it's good but you would have to order a copy to know that. It publishes poetry, too; stuff just like that. It's great. All very creepy.
