Scaredy Cat

Creeping creeping in the night
I stopped when I saw a bright light
I look behind me to see what moved
I scared myself, a shadow it proved!
I turned around and walked quite slow
Oh no, a reflection in the window
A face now the colour white
I jumped up in horror and fright
I am the bravest person I know
But...little did I realise
My best mate Joe
Was recording this prank for a Yourube show
It was a hit
Five million views
I even made the channel nine news!
