Am I Frightened

I saw a little mouse,
I danced upon a chair.
I screamed and hollered,
And pulled my lovely hair!

I saw a little garden snake,
Stretched out in the sun.
I screamed and hollered,
And took off on the run!

I saw a little bitty spider,
It was crawling on the floor.
I screamed and hollered,
And ran right out the door!

At night I see little eyes,
In the dark beneath my bed.
But that’s just little Fluffy,
That sleeps beside my head.
