Rodney De Klerk Poet Free verse

Two Ninjas

There were two ninjas in the dark
Who lay under sheets
Covered in their linen armour
Safe in servants' courters

There were ninja stars beside beds
Numchucks at hand’s breadth
To wield stealth attack
A forcefield of strength

There were guard dogs as allies
Silent and calm collected
Patrolled with gnarled teeth
Agents of the clan

There were two ninjas in the dark
Who lay under sheets
Quiet and self-restrained
Until window panes did shriek 

There were two ninjas on their feet
An assailant was at hand
With much commotion and snarling 
Were they at flight to catch that man!

These two ninjas in the dark 
Were but brothers trying to sleep
Burglars came to wreak havoc
And that is about the norm…
