Silly Me!
Oh! I do feel silly in the bright light of day.
Fumbling around in the darkness, looking for my slippers
tripping over slip mats and half falling down the stairs.
Hearing noises from the kitchen.
Is anybody there?
With no answer forthcoming, but sounds of a pouring pot.
I'll have to investigate, should I or should I not?
Whispers from the kitchen, the smell of toasted bread.
Is anybody there? I shout's.
It's the second time I've said.
I creep down the stairs, I have to take a peak, but not
wanting to get caught.
Come on in lass. Shouts me dad. You're causing such a draught.
Oh dad, oh mum it's only you. You gave me such a scare.
While the house was still in darkness I shouted, "Is anybody there?"
And yes I do feel silly in the bright light of day
as there's no-one else in the house except dad, mum and me.
