Matriarch of Darkness

All black and low case heels
Low voiced and subtle
Dark is slimming
In a house full of monsters

1 x 1 x 1 they come -
Wednesday, Pugsley, Pubert
Little nubs of trouble
And she must reign them in

Her uncle is a Fester
Her husband is a black charm
Low rumbling rhapsodies of true love
In a garden of henbane

Don’t cross her
Don’t make the sign of the cross
Don’t cross the family
Or the eye is all you’ll get

Signed, with love,
From the matriarch of darkness
Morticia Addams
