Dedicated to Suzy (He didn't eat her) <br /> <br />Its abode was the linen cupboard, in the corner of our room <br />A lesser known creature, nocturnal and vile <br />Its rank odour alone a harbinger of doom <br />and going to bed was an arduous trial <br /> <br />The lights would dim, the creaks would start <br />A whisper from the other bed, 'was that you? ' <br />eyes open wide, trying to see into the dark <br />too scared to breathe, sensing trouble brew <br /> <br />Its scaly mass, its piggy eyes <br />and claws like cartoon talons <br />shuddering in its awful disguise <br />oh, please keep the light on <br /> <br />A childhood nemesis, so much to fear <br />I want my mother, I so miss her <br />keeping very still, surely he won't hear? <br />Fingers crossed, he'll get my sister!<br /><br />Jazzy Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-smellpotpig/
