The Strange Thumps

"based on a true story"

Was a stormy night as i sat by the box

I heard these strange thumps on my roof.

It went on for ages, every 5 minutes 

So i headed upstairs for a look.

As i walked up those stairs, I heard a quick shuffle

The thumps then suddenly stopped.

I checked all the rooms there wasn't a sound

So i thought i would look in the loft.

I opened the hatch i gazed all around

The noise it had just disappeared.

Whatever it was on that windy old night

A presence was certainly here. 

If i'd just been more quiet as i walked up the stairs

I'd have caught my strange guest in the act.

It must have been scared, more frightened than me

As the thumping has never come back.

The title of this caught my eye, and the poem made me smile.
