Midnight Clown

Tik tok, Tik tok

Whispered the clock

Its midnight when I woke up

The room in silence it was wrap.

I checked to see baby sister at her room

And found the birthday present she had with bloom

Sitting beside her, a life-sized doll clown

Of its presence I could only frown

What a peculiar thing it is

Just by looking it gives you the creeps

I just noticed one thing though

For a clown its smile doesn’t show

I walked out her door and went to the kitchen

Searched a glass of water all of a sudden

All along I had this feeling

That someone out there is looking

After a minute or two

I heard footsteps out of the blue

Then in the dark a figure was lurking

Oh Thank God it was just my little sister yawning

What she said tickled me

“Sis, come with me ‘coz I wanna pee”

My baby sister seemed very scared

I assured her she had nothing to be feared

We made our way to her bedroom after

Help her sleep for her to get over

I was just about to cover her with a blanket

When I happened to glance a little bit

I looked at Mr. Clown for awhile

His new expression chilled my spine

Unlike before he wasn’t smiling

For now he looks at me smirking.
