Boo!

Late one night I could not sleep. Walked a while in the cool night's breeze. Happened upon a scary tree, Who bent down and said Boo! to me. Taken aback I could not speak Managed a small but quick little squeak Shaken, quaking in my boots Managed to take a closer look Tall and gnarly there he stood Courage I mustered all I could Light from the lantern cast its light A face which was hardly a fright There it stood this scary sight Grinning it was there in the night Towering above in the darken sky Waiting only for one reply Managed a resounded 'Boo' in sass He shifted his arms so I might pass 'Boo', a form of saying hi As we would say, as we pass by -- Aine 2008
