Twas Midnight

By: Erin Rae Coleman

Twas midnight and the children’s stomachs did grumble and growl in the night all hungry were the children and they got up for a midnight bite

Beware the parents little sister the mouth that yells the eyes that stare

Beware the dog and stairs the loudest noises of both

They took the yummy food in hand long time the delicious sweetness they had

So scared they by the parent that yell and scream in the night

And as in frightened thought they stood the children with frightened glances

Come parents through the kitchen door and running as they came screaming out there names one two one two and through and through
