Dark And Creepy Night

It was a dark and creepy night,
it was so dark and creepy there was no-one in sight,
I managed to crawl down the stairs,
as the ants were marching in pairs,
I heard a squeal,
It was coming from a meal,
I locked the door,
although it was poor,
an old man appeared,
without an ear,
I waited for a day,
and it soon became may,
another storm came,
it was exactly the same,
I stayed awake,
but i saw a snake,
I called for my slave,
I knew didn't behave,
Who danced around,
but didn't make a sound,
I found a solution,
but it was an illusion.
