Bony Fingers

From whence it came, I daren't ponder,

Yet though it wanders over yonder,

I find no comfort that it knows.

It knows where my family dwells;

It knows where my father delves;

It knows all there is about us.

At night I find no rest,

Although yestereve there was a test,

To find out where it resides,

Though to no avail after five hours;

By chance I discover here it lies;

The creature in my room, which gazes at toy towers,

And turns and wraps its bony fingers

Round my throat, intending to throttle me;

As the world fades away, Gollum, here lingers.
