Dear Sue Ann-
My contribution to 'Things That Go Bump In The Night'
Goes Bump in the Night
I used to be frightened
as darkness would fall
of monsters in closets
with nightmarish calls
‘Neath covers I cowered
as walls seemed to bleed
and those slithering sounds
I would constantly heed
Then scratching I’d hear
and vampires I’d see
as they floated on dead mists
while beckoning me
My childhood was spent
in such terrible fright
from all of those things
that go bump in the night
Now fears have been conquered
I don’t tremble or shake
as I cruise through the mean streets
selling drugs that you take
A grin on my face
though not friendly at all
for I sell the poison…
into darkness they fall
No more monsters in closets
I need not seek the light
now I am the thing
that goes bump in the night
2011greg shipman
and my re-mention; love your work Sue Ann
