Ruby

A Little Nightmare Poem

Top Story - June 2024

She waits till you're sleeping

safe and warm in your bed

then quietly sneaks inside

Cuz she needs to be fed

Her little blue eyes

can pierce through the dark

Her pearly white teeth

leave barely a mark

She pops out her fangs

Prepped and ready to feed

Then sinks them in deep

taking just what she needs

You won't feel a thing

So there's no need to scream

Her venom keeps you asleep

And you'll be lost in her dream

You wake up still tired

warm and cozy in bed

you might have a headache

maybe you hit your head?

But if ever you wake up

feeling a bit of a fright

And you see little red bumps

That's just Ruby's bite
