Out At Night Too Late
Out at Night Too Late
By Elton Camp
I sure was foolish to have stayed out so late
Driving alone at night is something I so hate
But it was well after midnight before I knew
So to my car in the dark parking lot I flew
I was sort of relieved to see it was still there
Because to lock the doors I hadn’t taken care
It was worse when I reached the edge of town
Because I could see only darkness all around
A monster more horrible than I could dream
Might lurk just beyond my headlight beam
If my car should break down, I’d be in a mess
And a feeling of great unease I had to confess
Then from the back seat came a rustling sound
I was much too frightened to turn & look around
In the rear view mirror, I saw an evil face arise
A knife in his hand and insane anger in his eyes
And then I heard a voice very close to my ear
“Get up, son, you’ll be late to school, I fear.”
What a relief to find it nothing but a nightmare
I’d sure hate to have been on the road out there
