The Boogeyman
As children we see the Boogeyman everywhere.
In the closet, under the bed - and even under the stair.
We even call him Monster and he is such a fright!
He scares us so deeply - we have to sleep with light.
We rush into our parents room and jump into bed with them.
Only then do our fears begin to truly dim!
Snuggling close to our parents we get the chance to dream.
Not worrying about having to cry or scream.
As we grow older we don't see the Boogeyman quite as much.
We begin to really enjoy life with our friends, families, and such.
Laughing, telling jokes, and learning all we can.
One day on our feet hopefully to stand!
But people - let me clue you - the Boogeyman is all around.
There are many other names where he can be found.
Bullies, criminals, and fanatics - just to name a few.
So keep your wits about you and give him what he's due!
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
