Scary Night

It was night and the lights were out,

the night was silent, the wolves didn't shout,

I was scared and couldn't sleeep,

so terrified i began to weep,

it was silent, not at all loud,

i'd rather be in a noisy crowd,

I was scared, my fear took control,

I saw a mouse run out of a hole,

I wanted this to end but I couldn't scream

for waking the others up seemed too mean,

so I held there tight and fell asleep,

hoping that's the way i would keep.

Later I woke up because I was told,

"Hurry up or your brekkie will be cold!"

So I rolled over to look at the time,

I was so relieved that I was fine.
