The Nightmare
One night ,
While crossing a little forest,
On the way home,
I felt I heard a grumble,
I felt the earth rumble.
Right after that,
When I took up courage,
And walked the way towards home,
I heard another grumble
And I felt the earth rumble.
This time I was struck with fright
And stood rooted at my place,
That’s when through the bushes ,
I saw a pair of glittering lamps.
Thinking it was a trick,
I continued to walk home,
And suddenly I confronted ,
The owner of the glittering lamps.
Can you guess it was a tiger,
Pushing its way towards me,
That’s when I felt my self shiver,
And closed my eyes in fright.
Soon I opend my eyes,
And looked around,
I thought it was a miracle
I found my self at home.
I soon realized,
That it wasn`t a miracle,
I was sleeping all along,
All I had seen was a nightmare.
