Three bedtime rhymes for horror buffs by Pierre Mare


Now I lay me down to sleep
To dream of things that ooze and creep,
And should they not want out tonight
I pray for some other hideous fright.

“Good night my dear,” she said. “Sleep tight”.
She held me close, turned off the light.
“Sweet dreams,” she murmured in my ear.

She said, “There, there. It's just a dream.”
I said, “No Dear. Not anymore.
Just open up the closet door.”
