What Is Under the Bed
Can you die of fright
I woke up last night,
was something under the bed?
I got a shocking fright,
and was filled with dread.
I thought I heard a sound.
I am afraid to move.
While I quickly glance around,
It’s my bravery I have to prove.
I gather up my resolve.
I am so very terrified.
My strength it dissolves
as under the covers I hide.
My body shakes.
I’ve closed my eyes tight.
My dignity is at stake,
as I ask, “Can you die of fright?”
I try hard to scream.
I find that I am petrified.
I ask is this a bad dream,
or tonight l’m going to die?
