[hometext] => The goblins will get you if...etc
[bodytext] => In the early morning hours After one, but not quite five, When your head is on your pillow and you're feeling less alive, and the shadow from a night-light plays a trick within your head, It is then you sometimes wonder Are you live or are you dead? The trick played by the night-light is to call upon your woes, Whereby all and sundry 'goblins' line up happily in rows. They are happy 'cause they're well aware They'll haunt you where you lie, Every worry you can think of Forms a real repugnant guy. Did you pay your last installment? Will they come and take the car? Does refrigerator noises mean repairs are not too far? Does the rattle at the window mean that someone's coming in? Does your German Sherhard puppy Kinda look like Rin Tin Tin? There is dripping from the bathroom Does it mean the plumber's due? There are footsteps in the attic Sounds like squirrels are running thru. My checkbook didn't balance, Did I enter all my stubs? Do I have enough of Clorox If I wash out all the tubs? I think it's time for vodka, Any drink will calm me down, But the acrid taste of vodka makes me want to shrug and frown Frankly all the vodka ever does Is help me with my 'funk', It helps me in another way, It makes the goblins drunk. And so it is and so it be I finally fall asleep, When it's time to rise from bed, I've fallen way too deep. The rooster crows and wakes the dawn, The sun climbs overhead, And that's the way it is each day, When all is done and said. If people sleep the whole night thru, They'll never comprehend, The power of the goblin's dance When sleep's around the bend.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
