Someone's knocking at my door
In the middle of the night
From a warm be into the cold
I think I got my first frostbite
As I opened up my door
I saw a ghostly figure on my porch
A lady all dressed in white
With an unlit torch as her light
Her jet black hair was flying wide
She looked so feeble, oh so mild
Her dress was dancing everywhere
And on her face showed fright
She had such a perfect face
And she came from a mixed race
She said,"Please help me,
I'm being followed by a plight."
I led her into my home
She ran away from my statue gnomes
And when I held her hand
It was so cold and tight
Her lips were bleeding, so was her head
On her dress was drops of red
I let her sleep on my bed
And slept on the couch that night
We danced and we pranced
In my dreams
I was awoken
By the sunbeams
I ran to her
For I heard screams
And at her foot
I saw blood and shaving cream
She said that is wasn't what it seamed
It's cherry syrup and whip cream
I thought that she cut herself while taking a shave
I felt so ashamed and naive
to be continued? I know naive and shave doesn't rhyme. Looking at this poem now that I'm older, I'm wondering "What was I thinking when I wrote this"
