The old man looked like Sleaze,
Wearing a brown coat against the breeze.
He shook his head slow
And wouldn’t let go
Of the suitcase he called “a valise.”

For something he didn’t know
She searched the island high and low,
Finding it with an old man moving slow.
She said it was an heirloom,
That a thief tried to make room
In his life for something he didn’t know.

What happened after the suitcase event
There once was a Lady from Kent
Down to Haiti she went.
About her portmanteau
She did not know
What happened after the suitcase event.

A story about sacrifice and song
The sergeant was about to move on,
But saw something that didn’t belong.
It was a portmanteau,
Wouldn’t you know,
And a story about sacrifice and song.

And how he was there, then absent
One day the police sergeant
Whiling away on the Internet,
Saw photos of Haiti
About a man called Crazy
And how he was there, then absent.

Into the abyss it piled
Portmanteau struggled through the wild
Opened its mouth and ate the child.
Leaping the wide divide,
It ate Sleaze on that side,
Then into the abyss it piled.

Could only feel her ill-will
It found the girl standing still
As all the world was in a spill.
It tried to reach her;
It tried to beseech her,
But could only feel her ill-will.

The ground beneath it break
The portmanteau felt the ground quake.
Leaves sliding off its back like snakes.
As it searched for the girl,
The world in a tilt-a-whirl,
It felt the ground beneath it break.

She clutched the sleeve despite the dread
“Give him your half coat,” the gnome said
“If you don’t, we will all be dead.”
The girl said, “No, no pass.”
Her heart now stone and half glass,
She clutched the sleeve despite the dread.

The sleeve to which she was bound
Sleaze stood still, but kept losing ground
As a precipice formed around.
The coat might save him,
If only the girl gave him,
The sleeve to which she was bound.
