A Creepy Creak
A summer full of burglaries
and full of petty thieves.
A mind a little nervous
from the frights that it receives.
The clock said one, my body said
that I must use the loo.
Then I returned to crawl in bed
and sister used it, too.
I peered around the curtain
to look out into the night,
and I could see a lot because
the moon was shining bright.
The night was quiet all around,
no traffic anywhere.
Two figures walking up the road;
I stopped a bit to stare.
Who were they? Why?...
and full of petty thieves.
