The Night of the Boogie Man

The moon hung low, its glow so bright,

A night for monsters, a curious sight.

Their chores were done, the gory mess,

Now time for bonding, no more stress.

Once upon a time, the tales unfurled,

Of boogie men and creatures of the underworld. Snakes and lizards, when the owl hoots “who,” Cricket chimes broken by a ghostly “boo.”

But princesses and fairies?

Oh, what a fright!

Monsters big and scary, they’d rather fight. Spooky menace startled them, wide-eyed, Jumping up with a rambunctious pride.

Chests puffed out, monsters unafraid,

Facing ghosts and ghouls, their courage displayed.

As wind-blown flames danced near,

They huddled together, quelling their fear.
