BUMP IN THE NIGHT

it's cold out, better snuggle up tight
get yourself hidden, keep out of sight
nightcap and nightgown, both are neatly worn
a fire in the fireplace, to barely keep you warm
what made that sound? who on earth knows
as ghouls and goblins peer in windows
a bump at the door gets you to your feet
you creek down the hallway, with legs not so fleet
at the top of the bannister, you stop and you stare
with front door wide open, a dark form lingers there
now it's back to your chamber, just as fast as you can
what the hell was it? was it monster or man?
thumps on the staircase, jump you into your bed
you pull up the blankets, to let you cover your head
whatever stumbled up is coming down the hall
you don't wish to see it, not see it at all
you pull the covers closer, you even start to pray
you pray it's all a nightmare, that this form will go away
just as you gain the courage to peek from under your coward's lair
your alarm goes off, waking you up, with no man or monster there
a sigh of relief, it was all just a dream, a bad one i truly must say
get up young lad, stay clear of ghost stories, put that book on the shelf and away...
