    Post Night

    As night falls
    The full moon glows
    In a shroud of cloud
    And the crickets
    And the owls
    And the bats
    Warn of The Doom

    Dark mist rising
    It's low and slow
    With an appetite
    For feet
    For ankles
    For knees
    Creeping in its gloom

    When you see
    Run! Like a bullet from a gun!
    The door unlock!
    Slam behind!
    Check the window!
    Beeline to bed!
    Safe in your room

    Burn a candle
    As long as a song
    All through the night
    Don't close your eyes
    Don't dare sleep
    Don't even peek

    At The Crawling Doom

    We don't often see a two-beat line. Makes the message urgent. Nice work.

    Thankyou Aunty

    (Thought I'd try something sweet and short after the recent rather epic efforts)
