I used to be afraid of you, <br />heard you eat up girls and boys. <br />I didn't want the lights turned out <br />and I was scared to play with toys. <br /> <br />Then Mommy asked you over. <br />She told me you're just sad. <br />You have no one to play with <br />and you aren't really bad. <br /> <br />You never come to dinner. <br />We still set a place for you, <br />a plate, a spoon, a glass for milk, <br />just in case you do.<br /><br />C.J.
