Bogey Man

Close my eyes and what do I see?
Old gray Bogeyman smiling at me.
Grinning away just as big as you please,
Reaching on out like to give me a squeeze--
He coming for me or just trying to tease?
(Making me feel kind of shake in the knees!)
Tatty old ragman, make me freeze;
He got tears! he just like we s--­Wait! He talking-- ain’t that, “Please”?
Kind of felt sorry for Mister B.
He not so bad. He not so free--
­Goldang, Charlie! that haint’s me!
