BOGEY MAN

Run and hide
duck for cover,
the Bogey Man
has arrived.
He ignores your pleading
may leave you bleeding,
your fate
well he'll decide.

In the middle of the night
without a chance to fight,
your future
is in his hands.
Well he's no common fool
he makes his own rules,
a game you cannot win.

So this is how he plays
he's demonic in his ways,
a portrayal
I should believe?
