My brother said

All alone tucked up in bed,
remember what your brother said,
if you can hear the faintest noise,
it's hairy hands that strangle boys.

The softest click of a wardrobe latch,
contains a monster, hear it scratch.
Always close that cupboard door,
or through that gap blood will pour.

Listen close for night time growls,
beasts of hell will start to prowl,
in the dark a shadow shifts,
hold your breath their bite is swift.

Never leave a doll to stare,
or sit her watching from a chair,
for as the clock strikes half past one,
you'll look back and see she's gone.
