 Curious Warning

Inspired by the Ghost story 'A Warning To The Curious' by M. R. James


Toiling away
On a moonlit night
With the spade dug deep
Into the barrow heap
Though there was nobody there
The words whispered
In his ear

No Digging Here

Finding the treasure
Deep beneath the ground
Trying to ignore
The whispered warning that he'd heard
He couldn't sleep
The dread he felt
With the sea
Crashing down
The Saxon King
Looking for his crown

The words that would haunt him
Again and again

No Digging Here
