    "Id-norance"

    Is a good word

    Monsters from the Id

    I remember the invisible Id monster From "Forbidden Planet"

    Back when I was a kid..

    The Id monster was a psychic construct

    Made actual physical matter

    By the mind of the jealous Dr. Morbius

    And the ancient science of the long extinct Krell

    The Id monster was pure mindless rage

    From the bowels of an ancient hell..
