Are you squeamish?

If not, first try reading this poem with no slips of the tongue, then do what it says at the bottom of the page.

DEAD/UNDEAD

The No-Headed Horseman

Gallops the heath

With a firm, fast, clear purpose

To reach

To reach

 

The depths of the dark night

That skulks beneath

With a cruel, tough, hard purpose

To leech

To leech

 

The eyes of dead corpses

Out of their sheaths

With a cadaver-cold purpose

To seek

To seek

 

The Two-Headed Horseman

Who gallops the heath

With a mean selfish purpose

To keep

To keep

Both heads in his hands - that's one head for each

 

Now draw a picture of the No-Headed Horseman and the Two-Headed Horseman
coming head to head, fighting neck and neck, deciding who's going to win hands down (etc.)
