Shadows flicker

light dances

oil lamp falters

fear lances

Castle of our ancestors

friends Halloween idea

another of her disasters

where are you "Maria"

Heart clamoring against my chest

thumpity-thumpity-thump

my eyes every nook molest

bumpity-bumpity-bump

At last their whispered giggles

put an end to my plight

no longer anxiety niggles

the end is in sight

I nearly wet my knickers

as they all jump as one

my feet panicked kickers

as no body part I shun

Revenge is sweet

my time will come

they're in for a treat

with anticipation, I hum
