Scary Books

The world is full of scary books

That set me all a-quiver

And I'll turn down good literature

For stuff that makes me shiver

I'll read them late at night in bed

Until my pulse just races

And in my dreams I'll get to see

Some quite unpleasant places

I wonder why I seem to be

Drawn to fear and dread

But only when I'm tucked up tight

Safe at home, in bed
