The Dark
…
Children afraid of the dark need some lighting
For in closets and basements and under beds hiding
Mysterious creatures are sometimes abiding
And mere shadows become some imagined surprisings
Chased out by the day but not by the nighting
…
By day they’re all gone, you suddenly see
They’ve climbed high up in a tree
Now you’re under your bed for hide and seek
Closets are open without a big stink
In dark they’re at home but by light they’re made weak
…
So the dangled bedside foot bedside you stick
Don’t give it a worry, not a bit
But you’ll give the monster a chance to lick
If you watch that scary bedtime flick
Needs give the lightswitch the upward tick
…
