Sleep Tight, Maggie

~ Frank Solanki

The howls are audible
Full moon’s beaming down
All the evil spirits
Have suddenly come alive
Haven’t seen the morning sun
For weeks now
It is darkness all around
The creepy creatures are crawling
Slowly towards me
My daughter’s sleeping in her bed
I could wake her up and run
But that is not my style
I will face them all
I’ve got my gun
And my cigar
Together we will bring them
Down to their knees
Bang! One down
So many more to go
I won’t let anyone
Disturb her sleep tonight
Time to teach you a lesson
For scaring my princess
Bang! Two down
I am warning you
I have promised my girl
When she wakes up
She’ll find all of you down
And the golden sun up
