Well I like the Poe idea so well I thought the Raven could be twisted to my nefarious purpose


QUOTH THE KRACKEN

A Steampunk mummies play featuring monsters and phantasms and mummie (including someones dear old Mum).

Once upon a midnight dreary, while pondered weak and wearTrudging forth and back upon my laboratory floor
While I cogitated, fingers snapping, suddenly there came a tapping
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at mu dungeon door-
"Confound these visiters." I muttered, "tapping at my dungeon door.
Begone,"quoth I, "For interruptions I deplore."

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December
and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly in my persecution;- vainly to conquer devolution
And from Death find a solution -to bring forth life once more


That's as far as I've got.
