A fright in the night
A fright in the night
Had just settled down for a peaceful night
When upwards I glanced and got a fright
A gigantic spider sitting on the wall
What could I find to make it fall
To get it down made a brave attempt
A failed manoeuvre how wrong that went
Scurried swiftly under my bed
Shrieked so loud what now I said
Under on the floor a bright torch I shone
Couldn’t see its long legs somewhere was gone
If only I hadn’t looked up and seen
Laying here awake I wouldn’t have been
Incy Wincy you’re so very unkind
To leave me here this praying on my mind
At night again, you I don’t want to see
For some sleep is much needed for me
