above the doors Of Pelham Manor
flew the not so honorable banner
of the family steeped in history
some of it shady, most a mystery.

now, the Pelham family have gone
children make up spooky songs,
and long is the legendary tale
of how they died, one boy impaled...

How his siblings wailed
The older sister, victim to the manor's mister
Every night while mother slept
Oh, how she wept

Found her daughter hanging
A note pinned upon her chest
Spilling family secrets
Father knew what was best
