Nightmares come to me,
when at last I go to sleep;
Monsters I have to live with,
disguised as little Sheep.
-
At first they seem quite harmless,
I feel no threat at all;
But then their appearance changes,
their teeth turn ten feet tall.
-
Their bodies, covered in fur,
from their heads down to their toes;
Where they all do come from,
I truly do not know.
-
Their eyes are crimson red,
their claws as sharp as knives;
I curl up in a ball,
trembling with fright.
-
Finally I awaken,
sweat runs down my cheeks;
I swear I'll never sleep again,
to avoid these ghastly Beasts.
