The Thing In the Dark

I lay alone in my bed, Clutching my stuffed bear Ted, The frightening darkness all around, I do not make a sound, I try to sit up and calm my self, But something stairs at me from atop my bedroom shelf, A pair of amber eyes blazing in the dark, Then I jump because I hear a dog bark, The eyes flash and I hear a thump on the floor, The sound is very hard to ignore, There is a thump on the bed, I clutch even tighter my stuffed bear Ted, I hear a purr, I feel some fur, And then I'm sure whats on my bed, My stuffed bear Ted falls to the floor, And I hold and hug the cat I adore.
