Tom Riddle-Dee-Dee (From CoS, "The Very Secret Diary")

(To the tune of Hey-Diddle-Dee-Dee, from Pinocchio) 

Dedicated to Lisa

(The Scene: HARRY'S room in Gryffindor.  He ponders the seemingly 
ordinary yet mysteriously peculiar diary of  one Tom Marvolo Riddle)

HARRY
Tom Riddle, you see
Owned this tattered diary 
It was with Myrtle, it sorta stank
And all inside it's a complete blank  

Tom Riddle could be 
Still with this diary
The puzzle has made me quite perplexed
Perhaps if I entered a line of text
..?

(HARRY does so, and the diary responds with text of its own)

Tom Riddle is back!
And does he like to yack!

HARRY (reading the text from the diary)
"Tom Riddle, you know 
Was a student long ago
I served as prefect and as head boy
I fought those who Hogwarts would destroy"

"Tom Riddle is me!
Now step inside and see
Take a tour of my domain
The Chamber of Secrets I shall explain
But please don't ask to see my brain.
So, ready? – One, two, three!"

(HARRY plunges into the vortex of the Riddle Diary)
