The Boogieman

I creep in at night, When all lights are out. While you peacefully sleep, When no-one’s about. No stars in the sky, No fresh baked bread. Only you, Me, And my breath on your neck. Hush now child, go to sleep, For tonight you will dream, And I will creep. Through cracks in your walls, Or holes in your floors. It matters not, I have trained on scores. I cut my teeth, On bedposts, And springs. I sharpened my claws, On cradles, And dreams. I perfected this dance, Each child, Each fright. I hope to dance with you, child…….. TONIGHT!!!!
