Tip toe here I go, in darkness I aim for
the prize. Floor boards creaking, old
warped through time, like a mine field
of noise keeping quite as my feet one
step at a time.
Lowy in stealth I walk, past the creaking
darkness covers my shadow. I slowly
reach the stairs, I must be quicker so
others not to know, walking the corridors
and be caught unawares.
Leg over the banister here i go WOW,
Whoosh I go down, an Inch or three
a painful end to where I wish to be.
Tiles like ice my digits now like tiny
ice cubes, can a floor really feel like
I'm walking bare foot in snow.
The door I open thankful of reaching
my goal, but shock meeets me, as ajar
I open to find not one but all. Sitting
quite as a mouse, all had taken the
journey not to wake others from
different parts of the house.
We laugh and joke of what we had
done to get this snack of midnight,
all tummys had rumbled, now full to
the brim. Good night all, a midnight
feast a memory as we all dose of to sleep.
I have done this a more than a few times, lol when your hungry
time doesn't wait
