BOOGEY
Classic boogey man
He's a - shaking
While you a - quaking
He's scary, he's formless
He waits for the night
To give you a big fright
He's the boogey man
There are shadows on the wall
He hides there after dark
He never goes to the park
Ever at home over your bed
That's where he likes to be
But him, you'll never see
Cause he's the boogey man
If your roof creaks
He'll sing along
He knows every song
When the shutters drop
At the loud clock tick tock
He's there to give a shock
Classic classic boogey man.
He's a formless belly full of sound
Ready to grind you to the ground

Rommy would like us to contemplate - the idea of the childhood boogeyman
This is soo powerful it deserves to be sung!!
ReplyDeleteNice sound and rhyme scheme. I liked the observation that he never goes to the park.

Two kind of B Men around, one real and needs to get life in prison. The other is mythical and does terrible psychological damage. The kind you wrote of, Gillan. Nicely done.

Love how you focus on the sound of the boogeyman... Like an amplifying echo I think
ReplyDeleteThe bogeyman is king of night noises that make our imagination run wild, and he does tend to exist in shadow land. Nicely done Gillena.
