Huddled in the corner, lights out,
I shiver and shake, I'm half clad
I'm so scared I can't even shout,
In the hall there's somebody bad.

I'm scrunched in the corner, afraid,
Oh, I'm sure that I will go mad;
I feel like I have been betrayed,
In the hall there's somebody bad.

Yes, you were the catalyst, Karilea, for me following up with this theme. there will be more. I'm still waiting on the book to get here. U.S. Postal Service isn't what it used to be.

Better it's in the hall and not under your bed,
or in your own closet.  Nice write, Jerry.
