We three friends of HPL are
Howard, Smith, and Bloch from afar
Writing letters to our better
Learning from HPL
Oh, mind of wonder, mind of might
Mind with keenness ever bright
Sought precision through revision
Teach us how to weirdness write
Conan the Barbarian's mine
He-Man wielding axes that shine
Inspiration, perspiration
Helped by you friend divine
Oh, mind of wonder, mind of might
Mind immured in endless night
Gifted writer, none were brighter
Teach us how to weirdness write
I wrote tales of mystic Zothique
Forging worlds strange and unique
Crafting weird tales making book sales
Inspired by your technique
Oh mind of wonder, mind of might
Often nervous and uptight
Correspondent, so despondent
Teach us how to weirdness write
Sent him stories, I a young lad
Kind responses made me feel glad
Feeling groovy, wrote a movie:
Psycho turned out not bad
Oh mind of wonder, mind of might
Mind obsessed with morbid fright
Seldom healthy, never wealthy
Teach us how to weirdness wright
He lives on in glorious fame
Horror fiction never the same
Genius gleaming, dead but dreaming
H.P.L. is thy name
