Timothy Mcguire Poet Rhyme

Bump In the Night

I heard a bump in the night
My skin is crawling, a fearful fright
Will it claw, will it bite
Can I make it to the light

It must be a ferocious beast
A ghoulish monster at least
He wants me to be his next feast
I'll soon be among the deceased

I just can't stand it any more
My running feet hit the floor
Stumbling, fumbling toward the door
Praying I'm not done for

I thought I'd been had
It was going to be bad
Escaped with my life I'm so glad
Jumped into the bed with mom and dad

Timothy Mcguire August 6, 2019 at 6:29 PM Yup we scared our selves many times. when I was a kid I got terrified when I thought I heard banshees wailing in the night. Come to find out it was my auntie practicing her church hymns in the basement.
