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
