Night Nasty

Now I’ve looked under the bed
Everything seems fine
Nothing waiting to get you
Its all in your mind.
Yes I know that your worried
But there’s nothing to fear
If something moves in the darkness
Remember im near.

What’s that now you say?
I should check the wardrobe 
For demons and skeletons
With old dusty bones.
Forget it, this is crazy
There aint no such thing 
As vampires and zombies
And other such beings.

No I cant leave the light on
Its expensive you know
And it wont stop the burglar
Coming in through the window.
Now stop being silly
Your as bad as the kids
And start acting your age
A man of 46!
