Basements Are Scary Places

Basements Are Scary Places By Elton Camp A dark basement with creaking stairs To enter alone, only the foolish dares Those who claim there’s naught to fear Of lurking monsters have failed to hear Because a basement’s a dim, musty place, That’s an ogre’s natural dwelling space That monsters can’t exist, don’t believe Sophisticated folks don’t allow to deceive Take along a flashlight and without doubt When you reach the last step, it’ll go out From the darkness will come a moan Creeping behind, the brute will groan A hand with claws will grab your arm As you cry out with the greatest alarm Into its glowing eyes you’ll peer Wish you were anywhere but here Greater caution most surely was needed This warning, you’ll wish you’d heeded
