Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Kobold

I am kobold of my household,

The house I've lived in centuries,

So be a spirit very old,

And haunted many families.

But each family should know that

I need to be treated right, or

I do punish the habitat,

And that family is no more.

Mistreat me once, a warning I

Do write upon a wall to them.

Most families learn, I can guess why.

Mistreat me twice, does bring mayhem.

Twice, naughty family tease me,

Chopped into pieces, then they be.
