Things that creep and crawl,

Will sleek and slide and writhe,

Things that deeply drawl,

Claws that grab you deep!

Come seek the things in the dark,

For darkness hides a nasty thing,

A creepy, crawly, that harasses me,

Hiding underneath the bed, I listen to it sing.

Darkness falls upon the place,

I seek to find the light come through,

Instead the devil shows his face,

Flames and fear come into view.

This scary awful place,

I hide beneath the blankets so they cannot see my face,

What is that shadow over there?

It was just the cat's apace!
