Shadow Man

Shadow Man You can move from room to room, House to house, Or state to state. Wherever you zoom off to, His shadow will always be There to haunt you. He wants to touch you, In a very private way, How long can you stay? Away from his icy touch? You can't even eat lunch In a diner, Without him sitting In a booth beside you. He's tall and thin With a long black overcoat And a dark top hat on. You can't avoid His eyes, Because all you See is black When you look At his face, While he's hovering Over your bed Atnight. Don't forget To turn your Night light on, Maybe tonight You’ll recognize His face. One thing is Sure to happen, He’ll be sharing Your space With you As soon as Your head hits Your lace pillowcase. Let's hope he Doesn’t reach Out to trace your Face with his Pointy fingernail.
