I dreamed I saw a basilisk
That basked upon a rock shore
I looked upon the basilisk
With eyes of stone,
I looked no more.
I dreamed I saw a cockatrice
A-chewing on a piece of bone
I gazed upon the cockatrice
One cannot gaze
With eyes of stone.
To look upon a basilisk
Is really never worth the risk
To gaze upon a cockatrice
Is permanent and never nice.
For it can never be denied
Life isn't pleasant, petrified.
Purty, huh?
