Snakes In Bed

Let's make haste     
Do not waste     
Time               

Above all    
Do not fall    
Down             


He will catch     
He will fetch  
You     

Darkened room     
Is your doom      
Child

He sleeps here
You should fear
Him

Playing games
Feeling shame
Quiet

Snakes in bed
Feeling dread
Uncle

I did speak
Was not meek
Enough
