I SEE LITTLE DEMONS

I see little demons everywhere 
They visit even in my sleep 
And when I leave the house 
Under my bed they creep 
And when I get back into bed 
They try and grab my feet 
And if I’m feeling generous 
I sometimes leave them treats

They are at their most playful 
When the sunsets to end the day 
And when the moon comes out 
They see that as their time to play 
These little mischievous demons 
Do not like the day 
The sun light is their enemy 
And makes their bodies fray
So my little demons
 sleep through most of the day

When I first saw one 
I must say I was kind of scared 
But my nerves slightly eased 
Has it moved my hand to its fur 
I stroked it with my hand 
And it began to purr 
Just like a kitten 
I know it sounds absurd 

They lived with me for years 
and I liked their mischievous ways 
that was until the other day 
when one took a joke to far 
and I saw it more than play 

He stuck a knife upright
And placed it under my pillow 
And if it wasn’t for the wind blowing 
I wouldn’t have had to close
 my bedroom window 
that’s when I saw the blade 
sticking through my pillow 
and realised my demon friends 
were no longer friendly fellows  

so I got my pillow
 and removed my pillow case 
then all around my bedroom 
little demons I did chase 
The little blighters were very fast 
and hid in the dark corners
and threw books and toys at me 
until I had them cornered 

So I took my pillow case 
Gathered them up quite quickly 
And placed them all inside 
Took them to the kitchen 
Opened up the blender 
And tipped them all inside  
Turned on the blender
And took them for a ride 

The blender was quite noisy 
Little arms and legs did flound 
As the sharp serrated blades 
Spun round and around 
Now my little demons
no longer run around
now my little demons 
no longer make a sound
and when I climb into bed 
I miss there not around 
But I sleep more easily 
Now they no longer make a sound
