Fear's Visit

Awoken from his midnight slumber
Fear sought a new soul to encumber

His victims he found far and wide
And never ever could they hide

Cowardice became their only friend
Until he led them to their end

Yet if they tried to be so bold
To throw off Fear’s constricting hold

Cowardice would no longer linger
They alone could lift Fear’s finger

Hurry along you mustn’t tarry
Unless you want to make him wary 

If you desire him to go awry
All you need is to catch his eye

And when you do you mustn’t blink
Do not waver do not think

Now tis time to do him in
Just laugh  and you will always win
