Poem: The Monkey's Paw

Dial ”M” for Monkey
It was a dark and stormy night at Manchester. The rain was dripping as if it were the drools out of a very lazy and sleepy dog. The thunder, screeching through the skies as if Zeus(god of thunder) was arrogant on someone. But the Clarks house, so warm and cozy.
