You Have Been Warned! Poem by Denis Martindale

IF YOU DON'T WANT A DAMN GOOD FRIGHT,
DON'T LOOK UNDER YOUR BED TONIGHT!
FOR WHAT YOU FIND YOU CAN'T FORGET!
YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MIND! YOU'LL GET UPSET!
YOU'LL RUN SO FAST! YOU'LL LEAVE SO SOON!
WHY BE DOWNCAST OR EVEN SWOON?
BLANKETS ARE MEANT TO HIDE YOU WELL...
IF HEAVEN-SENT, WHY GO THROUGH HELL?
IF YOU DON'T WANT A DAMN GOOD FRIGHT,
DON'T LOOK UNDER YOUR BED TONIGHT!
