Night Terrors

THE BOOGEYMAN WILL GET YOU-LOOK OUT!! They have said that to me ever since I was a wee boy Lurking under the sheets,in the closet,behind one's back Especially at night when we are susceptible to the vivid imaginations of our peers' taunting ravings of Unmentionable crawlers of the dark and fright I would not sleep with the closet door half open to fill these frightened pupils of what may hide behind It would scare me out of my adolescent mind,to know that something SINISTER would come from the shadows and SCARE me to death from behind Every little boy or girl would be so sensitive to the Boogeymen stories that their elders or friends would tell them,how green and deathly evil their eyes can be when they look back at you.Is it purely imagination or something of a twisted and macabre sense of humor that our brothers and sisters would like to throw back at us..for kicks and thrills,Halloween night terrors of unimaginable thrills When I was younger,the Man with a Forever Grin,would like to ridicule and terrorize me with his Devil-may-bite smile and assistant ghosties who would play along for the HELL of it. I may be a grown man now,my friend,but whenever I pop a HALLOWEEN dvd in my player,the mind cannot help but recollect the pictures of Night Terrors that forever go bump in the night where I live.. I hope the same can be said of those same Vile screamers that terrorize us in the first place..give them a taste of their own WICKED medicine
