I wrote this tune a while back -- an ominous twist on a childhood classic. More recently I put words to it. Even more recently than that, I posted it to Facebook and forgot to post it here. main web page for it / MIDI / PDF of sheet music prettier than the PNG below
Comet, Comet, Shining
Bright
variation on "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (or "Ah vous
dirai-je, Maman")

creepily, 50-55 bpm or thereabouts
Comet, comet, shining bright,
What news do you bring tonight?
Do you portend civil unrest
Or is it time for me to invest?
Comet passing in the sky,
As mortals below you live and die,
Omen foul or omen fair,
I am glad your kind is rare.
I have another new tune (a more interesting one, I think) coming Real Soon Now. (The last 10% of the tune is taking 90% of the time.)
