Graveyard Shortcut
================================
Hiding in the shadows, there
at the corner of my eye,
I am slowly made aware
there is someone else nearby...
"Who is that?!" I bellow then,
"Hiding in the shadows there?"
"I've no use for boogeymen!",
I yell into empty air.
One more sheepish peek I dare,
feeling harebrained to have thought,
hiding in the shadows, there
was some scare that there was not....
But my heart begins to race
when that cursed glance I spare,
suddenly reveals a FACE
hiding in the shadows there!
