The Ghost
By Kayleigh Hook

Knock, knock, knock on the door,
A bump in the middle of the night.
Tossing, turning, you try to sleep,
But it's given you such a fright!
You count sheep for all you can,
Warm milk is little help,
Your sleep won't come, you don't know why,
A door slams and you yelp!
Mum and Dad are tucked in tight,
So what's that shadow by your door?
It's big and white, that's not a sheet!
Are those footsteps you heard before?
Hug your toys, nice and tight,
Tug your blanket over your head.
Nothing can get you now, you're safe,
So why's it creeping towards the bed..?

Everybody knows that duvets have magical properties which protect you from ghosties and ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties and all manner of things which go bump in the night!
