John Fenn Poet Light Verse

Hush Hush

Hush hush whisper who dares
The big boogie man is climbing the stairs
And should he find kids who are not in their beds
He’ll pull ‘em to pieces and rip ‘em to shreds
He’ll pull off their fingers and pull off their toes
Pull off their ears and chew on their nose
But if he finds children  in bed fast asleep
With eyes shut up tightly no sign of a peep
He’ll tuck them in tight with a kiss on the head
So come on you kids it’s time for your bed

But I think adults can appreciate the great humor more than the kids. My Dad used to tell me bedtime stories, but they were never this scary! Great writing as always! Love, Carolyn
