Ghost Critter Creeps Poem by C R Clark

Ghost Critter creeps
In the middle of the night
Molesting my sleep
Causing me a fright
Out on the ground
Running around
Rattling leaves
Making all kind of sounds
Flashlight beam
Can’t find him in the night
He manages to keep
Just ahead of the light
He only comes out
In the midst of my dreams
Disrupting my sleep
Seems to be his main scheme
At first I was startled
And just had to see
What brand of critter
Was harassing me
Year after year
The same thing occurs
He must train his offspring
To carry on his curse
But to this day
I never have seen
Just what breed of scoundrel
The ghost critter be
But, it’s gone on so long now
In a new light, I see
The ghost critter’s presence
Seems normal to me
So, now when I’m awakened
In the middle of the night
I just roll over and smile
All’s well
The ghost critter’s back
