Shadows of the night 🤣

Smokey Joe he ran away
He never made a scene
Whilst Charlie watched and stood his ground
His eyes were emerald green

He wasn’t scared of anyone
At least not of a cat
But in the shadows from the alley 
Scrambled out a rat

His shadow was so big that 
It was all that Charlie saw
It looked like a wild monster
As it stood upon the floor

Charlie shivered and a’shook
His knees was all a’tremble
He tried to think just what this was and what it did resemble

“Oh please dont eat me” Charlie cried 
“Oh Smokey Joe please help”
He heard a whisper from behind
It gave a little whelp
