The night comes to set its claws into us yes it creeps,
The candle wick thinning like a voodoo drum bang bang beats,
The campfire trojan stories shared like a kids share of lollies and treats,
And yet we're only into Wednesday, it's only mid week,
Was that the door or the televised movie on 9,
Was that just a thought or did that make it into this rhyme,
Jack be nimble Jack be quick,
God help me relight my candlestick,
The night hours slay me make me sick,
Unless I catch the night train or abracadabra a trick
