• All we do is sleep and rest,
    Sleep and rest and wait for you,
    Beneath your bed,
    Within the floor,
    Right behind,
    The closet door,
    Big and hairy,
    With wretched claws,
    Long and snakey,
    With gaping maws,
    Only seen by child's eye,
    When lights go on,
    Away we fly,
    For if the loving light,
    Of parents dear,
    Ever does draw near,
    Our power fades,
    Our bodies weaken,
    As all the love seeps in
    So, don't forget,
    Children dear,
    If you should ever hear,
    The floor, and the walls groan,
    A scritchy scratch all alone,
    That we are near,
    That we exist,
    For we are your fear.
