Jeremy Micklethwaite went to bed
and thought he heard the terrible tread
of the thing that always frightened him.
Jeremy Micklethwaite went to bed
and worried that he hadn’t said
goodnight to those so dear to him.
Jeremy Micklethwaite went to bed
pulled the pillow over his head
so nothing could get near him.
Jeremy Micklethwaite went to bed
fretted from A right through to Z
of the perils that might befall him.
Jeremy Micklethwaite didn’t go to bed
faced his fears and looked ahead
with his fingers crossed behind him.
