A Spooky Night (poem)

One night I saw a witch in my room!

She had put on some very strong perfume.

And when I saw her, I wanted to flee.

But just then she grinned nastily in glee!

Then came a ghost,

dressed up like a party host.

And he started to sing,

'I am king! I am king!'

Next came a fat cat,

as black as a bat;

It jumped on the witch's shoulder,

as heavy as a boulder.

By this time I had jumped beneath my bed,

I was creeping while squashing my head.

Suddenly all those creatures disappeared,

Oh! I was in a dream,

thinking of things weird!
