she comes in July
she comes in July on years she wants to come
Her name is unknown, but she terrorizes everyone
a poltergeist with a mission to shake us in our sleep
She is particularly annoying when our slumber is so deep
we wake up with a start, after she whispers in our ear our name.
no idea what she is after, but each visit is relatively the same.
She gets us up with a whisper, than resorts to clicks and a pop.
We beg her to go away, the children yell for her to stop!
Is it a relative? Someone asked me when I shared the story.
No idea, I told them, but she is terrifying in her loudest glory.
She shakes the windows and rattles the hinge off our closet door.
We beg her to leave us alone, but she shakes us when we snore.
The bed is sometimes lifted up and then thrown back on the ground.
Fearful she is going to really hurt us, she is annoying to have around.
