Night Blight
NIGHT BLIGHT
I took the sun to bed with me
stayed awake all night
hid the moon beneath my bed
darkened stars in my closet hung
old barn cats wandered blindly
sad owls mumbling “HUH!”
roosters sat in silent scowl
wolves contained their full moon howl
The Wolf man scratched his balding head
Dracula cowered in his coffin bed
time’s fingers tapped – a bit irate
for I had stolen early - late
now I’m in the time out chair
because I stole last night.
