The Scaley Underneath by Devin Ens

He's crawling on the floor

He slithers through your drawers

He's sniffing in the air

He's winding up your chair

He's shedding off his sheath

He's the scaley underneath

He's the scaley underneath

He hatches from an egg

Then he slithers up your leg

He's gonna smell you out

Like a lizard smells a trout

With shiny hollow teeth

He's the scaley underneath

He's the scaley underneath

He waits till your undressed

Then he slithers 'cross your chest

There's a pounding in your heart

As his tongue it starts to dart

The good inside you seethes

As the bad begins to breath

He's the scaley underneath.
