Mind the Gap (5-8)

What happens in that gap, between the wall and cupboard door?

The dark and gloomy gaping crack that hides secrets galore?

Are Boogey Men and Closet Monsters riding piggy back?

Are cranky ghosts and nighttime beasts thinking up a snack?

Could they crunch your bones and eyeballs, could they bite your nose?

And pickle-up your kidneys, drink your brains and grind your toes?

What happens in that slice of dark night looming over there?

The long thin strip of nastiness where demons stand and stare.

Are robbers holding scratchy sacks for stealing lots of gold?

Or pinching all your favourite toys, oh would they be so bold?

Do witches brew-up potions, zapping kids into thin air? 
Will people notice that you’ve gone, will anybody care?

Why don’t you turn the light on, have a peek inside that gap?

I just don't think you'll find a ghost or nasty goblin’s trap.

The things that you imagine really tend to be much worse

Than slobbering wolves or slimy snakes or whacky wizards curse

So take a look and worry not, there’s nothing to dismay

Unless you count that jumper Auntie Flo made you last May!
