Baron Samedi: The Unauthorized Biography

by Indelibleink

Sit back, relax, and
Let me know when you're ready,
And I'll tell you what I know
'Bout the great Baron Samedi.

This guy was a born leader
Yes, the Baron was born and bred,
He lead not just the living
But was good buds with the newly dead.

With dark glasses, top hat,
Cotton stuffed in his nose,
This dude was quite a sight to see
Or that's how the legend goes.

As far as his family history
It's not all that easy to trace,
See, it's really hard to get good clues
When you have a skull for a face.

The guy enjoyed a good time
Mattered not what he was wearing,
But if you criticized his wardrobe
He was prone to graphic swearing.

Did I mention his favorite passtime
Someboby once heard him confessing,
At a local Victoria's Secret
That he was into cross-dressing!

In fact, let's take it one step further
The Baron was straight and he was gay,
But as long as you were (almost) living
Your sex didn't matter either way.

So the moral to his story
Is a pretty simple one I think,
You'll get more than conversation
If the Baron offers you a drink!
