Torbalan Krampus

A Poem by gombeggar

a very merry christmas story

The Sack Man cometh

The vagrant that knoweth

It is the time of the year

His time has come and he is very near

Krampus

Zwarte Piet

Bori Baba

Bugbear

…Unkle Gunnysacks is coming for you!

He will take you away

In the dark nights of the coming days

It is he you should fear

As the snow settles the lands far and near

The Man with a Bag

He looks ragged and haggard

Even likened to an old hag

He came for the children to fill weight in his bag

When the bag is all full

He has a place that is so cruel

Where the wood stove is fueled

By naughty bones of children’s yule

Now Krampus is coming

Krampus is coming

He is in a bad mood

Krampus is coming

Stuffed in his bag, kids are just food

Krampus is coming

You should dig deep in your covers and stay very clear

For Krampus is coming

Krampus is coming

Hope that he only digs through your stockings filled of cheer

Krampus is coming

With a switch and a blade

Krampus is coming

To feed on all the bad behaved babes

Take you back, Krampus will

To his tree stumped, creature’s den

There, Krampus will take you

There you will meet a long and slow terrible end

For the bad that you did

All the year long

Krampus will feast on your poor flesh

Under his tree stump and all the night long

Happy Christmas Everyone!
