Two Jack ah Lantans?

 So daddy tell we a story one moonlit night

About a period in life when there was no street light

Two men travelling from opposite directions

They couldn’t see their hands, they were dark in complexion

Briskly they walked, along the long winding road,

No fear for the crickets, the owl or the toad,

But when their head connect and they saw something flash,

They didn’t stop to wonder or see with what they clash,

For they both heard the stories about the Jack ah lantan

That travel at night to suck blood from human,

They didn’t wear no skin, and had eyes like fire,

So no need to halt; who would stop to enquire?

So off they sped in the direction from which they came,

They will sleep at a rum shop with no pain and no shame,

For this situation has left others dead

Not with some bruises and simply a bump on their heads

The next day will come, they would let others know,

About the Jack ah lantan that travel the streets of Mespo,

But what are the chances, said one man to another,

That these men stories are so similar to each other?

Could it be that they were both very drunk?

And the flash appeared from when their heads clunk?

Though reasoning was sound, convinced were the men,

It must be two jack ah lantans, we nar walk that road again
