Hoses Are Creepy

Hoses are such creepy things
That in the dead of night,
When I try to go to sleep
My head is full of fright.

When the day has finished
And the moon is shining bright,
They slither through the garden
Squirting water with all their might.

Hoses with their long, long nose
And very scary face,
Wrap people up very tightly
And send them into space.

So take care and be aware
Or you’ll find that they just might,
Put you in a spaceship
And send you into flight.
