Goblins

When I Was but a Child And Bedtime Stories Were Told I'd Go to Sleep and Dream Covered up Against the Cold I Remember Fairy Tales And Christmas Time Was Nice When Everything Had a Blanket of Snow And Dripping Water Turned to Ice But the Stories I Remember Best And like to Hear about Were the Ghosts and Witches on Halloween And How to Keep the Goblins out Well, the Goblins Never Got Me Not until I Was Grown I'd Have Felt Much Safer as a Child Had this Fact by Me Been Known I Never Knew What Goblins Were Except That They Would Get Me But Now I'm Grown I Know They're Big and Dark and Ugly Lies and Broken Promises Are What Feeds Them Everyday They Steal in and Break Your Heart Before They'll Go Away So If You're Just a Child You've Nothing to Worry about It's When You Get All Grown up The Goblins Will Get You....
