Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men: Evolution. The original concept is from Alara's fic 'Black is the Color' and is used with permission.
Author's Note: This was inspired by 'Black is the Color', by Alara. It is not entirely necessary to read that story first, but it will probably make more sense if you do.
Rogue's Favorite Ghosts
Lawmen with sharp swords and Hangmen with nooses,
Stealers and Cheaters with shady excuses,
Creepy dead people made into some roasts,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
Ravens that drift with swift death in their flight,
Mysterious strangers on a dark, stormy night,
Bar-brawls and battles and arrogant boasts,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
Maidens in dresses with bright bloody gashes,
Backs cut to ribbons with 2000 lashes,
Spirits and Specters looking for hosts,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
In the quiet dark, as the fire toasts,
Redcoats priming to kill.
I simply remember Rogue's favorite ghosts,
This vacation has just gone downhill!
x
The Highwayman riding in the dark of the night,
Innkeeper's daughter keeps her vigil by moonlight,
Warned by her death of the military posts,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
Are they fire-side tales or ominous warnings?
No longer themselves at the day's first dawnings.
'What Should Have Been' lived through their human hosts,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
'Bessa and Rogue and Colin and Remy,
Caught up in a tale both romantic and scary,
Four people, two loves that are stronger than most,
These are a few of Rogue's favorite ghosts.
x
In the dark night, as the fire toasts,
Redcoats priming to kill.
I simply remember Rogue's favorite ghosts.
This vacation has just gone downhill.
