Mad Doctor of Dyer

(Ever stumble onto an old piece of writing and struggle to figure out what you were drinking to create such insanity?  Here’s one of mine.)

Beneath the clean-cut hedges

And the children playing tag

Thrives a maze-like lab

Run by Dr. Thaddeus Donald Thad

 

He is a man who never rests

For there is too much work to do

His robots needs their oil

And their lasers calibrated too

 

His animals need feeding

Each a special breed

This job is for the doctor’s beast

Named Ebenezer Kane

 

A gorilla with a rhino horn

And three prehensile tails

He cooks for them all day

In his corner of the lab

 

A white-walled kitchen

Kept clean and fully stocked

The doctor moves among his rooms

Visiting his vast designs

 

Cyborgs with the heads of sheep

And mutants made of vines

Creatures that desire darkness

Birthed from his maddest days

 

An armory of weapons

That the army turned away

He checks them all in turn

Stopping at his latest pet

 

A little boy at age of ten

That wandered down too far

The doctor gave him wings

Of softest feathers found

 

A third eye embedded to see behind

And an arm of shifting metal

The boy still cries

For his mother’s smile

And his favored game of tag

 

All would still be his

If he did not wander down

Into the realm of a mad doctor

Named Dr. Thaddeus Donald Thad

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    I just saw this, lol. Love it. I found some of the writing I did in high school the other day and oh boy…I don’t claim it.
