Never Say Boogeyman
"Don’t fuss anymore, just sleep tight
Boogeyman will hear and lug you away
stuffed in his hideous,grey, musty sac",
she warned her little boy every night.
Boogeyman “Cancer” made no sound
just crept in silently as she slept
into her child’s room and blood
stole him from Earth’s playground.
Don’t ever please say Boogeyman
she lifelong urged all moms
what you say may come alive
‘coz Gods hear only when they can!
