Little Rare Book Room - H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society

Come they call me

The special book room

The rarest books to see

Librarian's tomb

Kept under lock and key

In terrible gloom

To save man's sanity

It's pointless we're doomed

Thoroughly doomed

Utterly doomed necronomicon

The first I exhumed

From the book room

Book of eibon

So frightfully old

Vermis mysteriis

A sight to behold

The monstres and their kynde

With edges of gold

Could make me lose my mind

All covered with mold

Fungus and mold

Poisonous mold

Kitab al azif

It's horrors untold

Still I am bold

King in yellow

Left me feeling glum

The ponape scriptures

I'd stay away from

And then the golden bough

My brain had gone numb

I read them all out loud

Well that was quite dumb

Terribly dumb

Fatally dumb

Freed the great old ones

Mankind will succumb

What have I done

What have you done
