What do you think this poem is about?

Bump

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!

    Its a simple but effective poem. It demonstrates a limerick which in this case is about a person being frightened in the night.
