It was a dark and ‘story’ night…no-it was a dark and stormy night!..whose writing this thing-me or them?…oohh,…so now we’re talking about Them?!
It.
It was…
It was dark…
In the stories of the heart…
In the night…in the dark…
In the fog…of the light…
Is it them…in the dark…in the night?
In the shadows…in the black…out of sight?
They move as one…in the dark…ooohhh, the fright!
Gurgling and jiggling…to my left…to my right!
Together-alone...they slither…they creep
The nervous…the monstrous…enveloping my neep!!
In the dark…of the shivers…very near-out of sight
And then…a light…a light…at once very bright
And frozen there in the fog of the night…a chilling scream heard and just out of sight
I’m standing alone…in the shivering row…by the doors in the glow…in the shadows…of the night…and
THERE!
In the dark…curled together…in a fog of lucid wight!
Yellow colors of symmetry…dancing in their blight…
In the dark…in the light…await nefarious devils…
So run if you dare…but…
It’s THEM! It’s THEM!…grab the salt, grab the light…but for the love of GAWD!… stay out of sight!
“THEM”
