CREATURE OF THE NIGHT

CREATURE OF THE NIGHT

You are a creature of the night,
who dreads the hours of broad daylight,
in the darkest recess, you must stay,
until the sun, has gone away.

But when moon will rise and shine
that is the time that suits you fine.
its then that you come out to play
in the darker hours of every day,

Its then you run, and jump, and skip,
and wave at stars so brightly lit,
as chasing moonbeams through the night,
you laugh with mirth, and dark delight.

you rap the glass, at dead of night,
and shriek with glee to see the fright,
but you mean no harm to child, or wife.
you are but mischief, of the night.

Alas to the east, some light is shed,
the sun will soon get out of bed,
to the dark recess, once more you go,
till stars will twinkle, and moonlight glow.
