Stranger Danger

A car pulled up right beside me
And a man screamed out:
“Come in little lady,”
And all I did was let out a shout.

I knew when there’s a stranger
There’s always a danger.
That is why you always stare
And never be unaware.

I ran from being chased
Then hid in a public place.
I rang my mum on the phone
and when it was clear I went back home.
