You have adopted Stephen Sondheim's philosophy... "when there's a waltz, there's trouble!"
Although the first line of the second stanza would fit the waltz 3/4 time perfectly without the "pleases!" But really nicely woven tale, and too many worlds to explore in one room!
Yowza!!! What a great parasite! Unsettling to say the very least and your physical description was superb even with your trademark understated humour! Good use of the prompt - we had singing and impromptu songs!
What's missing is the dancing. Maybe there's a monster somewhere that communicates through interpretative dance... (Actually, now that I think of it, birds do that--I think I might have something there.)
I always find that written lyrics beg to be sung, and often, there's something subconscious about the tune from what I see that seeps into my head, and I end up naturally setting what's written to some established ditty. This first one fits right into "You Are My Sunshine," and the second one flows like it was written for "Frog Went A-Courtin'." I suspect you didn't have those in mind when you wrote this piece, but hearing them hummed in my head made this more fun.
This is simultaneously sorta scary and silly, which is an odd mix. I wonder now if Jin is still inclined to leave his mum, or if he now feels he has to stay home and protect her. Cute piece!
You know, I don't know anything about music; I just measure rhyme and meter and hope imagination fills in the rest. I like the idea of someone holding off a monster with those kinds of songs ("Curses! My malevolent evil cannot withstand the righteous power of 'Turkey in the Straw'!")
This is a prequel to a number of my other stories this season, so he did ultimately decide that whatever will be will be ("Doris Day! My only weakness!") and go on his adventure, where he befriends the strangest person he's ever met...
