10. Mushrooms

It wasn't too far down the right path that William came across a large patch of mushrooms. Each of the mushrooms had a face, and all of them were singing in harmony;
"And so it was that later,
"As the miller told the tale,
"That her face, at first just ghostly,
"Turned a whiter shade of pale."
Then the mushrooms began vocalizing the background music of the song, all in perfect harmony.
"Hey dere," one of the mushrooms near to him said in a distinctly Jamaican accent, "come sing wit us, man."
"She said there is no reason,
"And the truth is plain to see.
"But I wandered through my playing cards,
"And would not let he be.
"Come on, man," another shroom taunted, "just lie down and sing."
"Yeah man. You're safe here wit us," another said.
Suddenly William was very tired, and wanted nothing more than to sit down. So he did, leaning back against a tree. Surely it wouldn't hurt to rest here for just a few minutes. Right?
"One of sixteen vestal virgins,
"Who were leaving for the coast,
"And although mu eyes were open,
"They might as well have just been closed."
