I GIVE YOU..... MR. NIGHT!

Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you. "Mr Night"                (applause)

Hello there

I'm everywhere

And now I'm here

I see you.

I'm Mr. Night.

I travel far

Around the world

I know your friends

I visit you

I'm Mr. Night.

From behind the clouds

I have a goal

And that's my role

To make you sleep

I'm Mr. Night.

I'm everywhere

With many names

Dead, still, Moon-lit night.

Oh! What a sight!

Can I give you a fright?

Who's around you

Who's behind you

When you get home?

Oh! .....Its late.

Don't break a plate!

The only fault

I think I have,

So don't be late

Is that, I can't..... discriminate

THAT'S YOUR FATE!

Who can hide you

And protect you

I have no face

With all my might

Its me... Sir Dark Knight.

Who can turn a world,

Upside down ,and make you frown

Not even a sound;

I've lost my crown!

It's me!   Mr. Night.

I'm all around

I reverberate

Fireworks please!

Lets celebrate!

I'm Mr. Night.

Don't be late

Don't hesitate

There's the gate

Hurry home

Or what awaits!

Now I'm here

It's time to go

I bid you farewell

"Hello Sun! I'm always black."

But I'll be back"

From Mr. Night.

Meanwhile , 

Hear me snore

With all my might

It's just a night!

Till then...... its goodnight!

Why the heck was Frank Sinatra crooning this one to me - I gotta be a goofball altogether.
The premise of this is so inventive Andrew. Your mind is a machine gun of unique. I swear - it makes the jaw hit the floor - especially given how prolific you are too. I doff my face to you sir !

Very cool indeed.
:))

[andrew mitchell]

ANTO you humble me and I thank you for your kind words but I live in the shadows of great writers like yourself,Gee,Coyote,Fran,alf, Sereena, ms to name just a few. But I like being in the shadows lol as I read in awe over other's fine works :):) Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Frank Sinatra lol applause please!!!

[ANTO]

Put that poem to the tune of Strangers in the night in your head - honest - its just right for ole blue eyes style my friend. Your minds brilliant my friend - and your humility is endearing.

[andrew mitchell]

Strangers in the night
Exchanging rubbers
This one's too tight
Can I have another
Juices running high tonight.........this version lol

[andrew mitchell]

[ANTO]

Well I happen to love the night. Don't scare me at all :) Specially in the summer after a long hot day. Night sky, stars, crickets, a glass of wine and some mosquito repellent lol. I have always been a night person. true!

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you lynn I like the night too!

[Willard Wells]

Very creative verse idea my friend. Not only you crafted an excellent piece, but you could go on from here with many other thoughts that play to this theme. Well Done.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Willard for your kind words

[jesserose99]

I love this done as 'ladies and gentleman' ...presenting sort of thing. I read it aloud as I do yours at the idea of another poet I think I have said before, and this just roles off the tongue. very witty and clever as always Andrew!!

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Jesse my kids love this one! and recite the chorus lol

[B]

Lol

And i am laughing ..... with my coffee lol

I love what you have done here ..... I can see Mr. Night .... Riding away
Wearing his mask
Scaring people into sleep and fright

He is the mystery of all time ..... Somehow i see Mr. Night as a person

Raiding the city and creating terror
Only the sunlight exposes his tricks and puts his attempts to bed

Mr. Night gets put away somehow

Loved this poem .... You never fail to impress Monsieur Andrew :)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Mademoiselle:):)

[AaronFreitas]

[andrew mitchell]

thank you Aaron glad you liked it

[sereenaoutloud]

So creative as always ! I am that girl that hates the dark, it was like you were in my mind when writing

Who's around you
Who's behind you
When you get home?
Oh! .....Its late.
Don't break a plate!

lol just awesome AM !!

[andrew mitchell]

[Fran Marie]

A creative and funny piece you have penned here..very unique..

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Fran:)

[Bushra Naqshbandi]

A very interesting poem. Given the fact that it was written aout something as mundane as night, it is extremely unique. I like the style and composition very much. Great job! :)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Bushra for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed.

Hi Andrew. What can I say?? Those creative juices are flowing right now and flowing with pure gold. I was thoroughly entertained!! I keep having that image of the table, the beer, beneath the black sky and the man's head erupting with soooo many ideas. I love this. You do light-hearted so very well, alf

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks alf but it was suppose to be underneath, sinister undertones with menace lol For the first time I think I was happy with the outcome and the flow being so light. lol ta mate! glad you enjoyed

[alf]

No, it was dark!! its just that I keep seeing this creator at work and I have managed to convince myself of the setting in which he composes his masterpieces!!! (big smiles) alf

[andrew mitchell]

I wanted Mr Night to be charming but devilish and not to be trusted lol. Thank you alf I know I pester you alot but your comments are informative and inspiring so thanks.:)

[alf]

You can pester!! I don't say that a lot but there are some cases where curiosity takes me on new paths. Exploring your poetry is a path I so much enjoy. I love the variety of your thoughts and the eclectic collection, subject and formatting that you offer. I will always review, just keep sending me notices and I will read! alf

[andrew mitchell]

Hi alf Thank you so much okay 1599 on there way lol. Seriously thanks for your time and I shall make the path I hope a good one!
