The Skeleton Shadow

It's eyes glow of red it hides under the bed
it eats the dead ! What is this thing that hides under 
the bed ? It has no name ore darkness is where it came
it didn't come the grave to face him is to be brave, 
this skeletal being of shadow taps his fingers on the floor
under the bed he growls like a demon " don't place feet on floor
ore he might drag you through the closet door never to
be seen again ore your nightmares is where he was formed 
this ghastly shadowy skeleton stalks within shadows.
