The Boy was a happy little thing
Singsongy voice that always rings
But lately somethings been bothering him
Spreading goosebumps on every limb
"Hello," his shadow screeched evily, all dark
"Hello!" exclaimed the boy like a baby lark
"Lets make a deal, you and I," the shadow said.
"What kind of deal?" the boy murmured, scratching his head.
"The best kind of deal!" the shadow exclaimed with pride.
"Amazing and free, like a rollercoaster ride.
No parents, no teachers or school
And best of all, everyone thinks youre so cool!"
Gee, the boy thought. That sounds real nifty.
"Okay!" he exclaimed. "Set me up in a jiffy."
The shadow laughed heartily an soon grew lighter
As the boy grew darker
Darker and darker.
And as the boy fought to be free
The shadow had taken his liberty
Little boy was free no more
Little boy had become Shadow boy
