Hush hush

Hush hush whisper who daresHere comes the boogie man climbing the stairsAnd should he find kids who are not in their bedsHe’ll pull ‘em to pieces and rip ‘em to shredsHe’ll pull off their fingers and pull off their toesPull off their ears and chew on their noseBut if he finds children in bed fast asleepWith eyes shut up tightly not one little peepHe’ll tuck them in tight with a kiss on the headSo come on now children, it’s time for your bed   (C) John W Fenn   10-10-2009
