The hidden creatures of the night

In the dark, dark, night strange things happen,

the door creaks,

the floorboards creak,

one by one.

Could that be a monster?

No it couldn’t be!

Could it be a creature,

waiting to leap?

Pat, pat, pat, the roof leaks.

What a creep.

They must be waiting

until I sleep.

What would they seek?

Death!

No it couldn’t be.

I won’t sleep.

Ok I will, I’ll have a nightmare

about my teacher.

Brrr, much more scarier!
