Flashing lights and neon signs <br />Pollute the darkest night <br />By lighting up the cubby holes <br />Where shadows go to fight <br /> <br />Light robs them of their hiding <br />They shrink to smaller size <br />Please flick the switch and turn them off <br />Shadows think that’s wise <br /> <br />They don’t mind simple street lamps <br />Or moving car headlights <br />But please don’t put the big ones on <br />It spoils the shadow fights <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles
