Things That Go Bump in the Night

That things go bump in the night
is a well known fact and it’s true.
At midnight, the witching hour,
the rattling and moaning begin.
It is phantoms pacing the floor
encumbered by ball and chains.
Souls who are suffering torment
and unbearable excruciating pain.
I have heard the noises myself,
through the walls of my room.
I’ve been kept awake by the wails
of spirits resisting the onslaught
of poltergeists joining the fray
and listened to their constant boom.
Then with a shriek and a lion’s roar
the skirmish between ghouls ends.
All is now tranquil and I can resume
my disturbed slumber in peace
and hope that the incubus won’t
descend and demand an encore.
