Halloween Countdown Day 7: Watcher

Watcher

I feel something watching me

Through my window, by the tree

I wonder what it hopes to see?

I go and close the curtain

Feeling sickly and uncertain

Fear has my stomach hurtin’

Suddenly there came a knock

Like someone had thrown a rock

My mind now going into shock

I swallow hard twice and then I go

Walking slowly to the window

Pull back the curtain an inch or so

It’s just my friend!  I heave a sigh

I didn’t know he was coming by

But what’s that twinkle in his eye?

And then I see his pointed fangs

A drop of blood from each one hangs

I close the curtain and still he bangs

He can’t come in without my okay

And he won’t be getting that, no way!

Now I just wish he would go away
