Feastie Beasties

pissed off

Now to bed,

Sleep deep, not lightly

For in the slumber

You’ll meet the dead

 

They prey upon

The weak and wounded

That’s what beasties

Feed and gnaw on

 

Think good thoughts,

While sleep is falling

Block the darkness;

Be not distraught

 

Don’t get caught

In nightmares fancy

Winged beasties posed as pixies

So enchanting much to chancy

 

Befalling heartache lay to rest

No need to join the dispossessed

Stay alert, not dark and dreary

While you sleep or you’ll pay dearly
