As I sit in the study searching the net,
A noise is heard like mice scurrying,
I listen closely waiting for it to stop,
But no, on it goes.
Then it changes to a tap.
Tap Tap tap.
I stand and creep across the landing
I reach the big white door
My hand rests heavily on the handle
Tap tap tap, then a giggle.
A bead of sweat trickle down my forehead.
Silence, the still calm, nothing.
I release the handle and side step away.
Returning to me chair and resume my search,
Tap, giggle, scratching noises begin again.
Standing quickly I leave the study,
I drop to floor hands in the form of T
I roll slightly to the door,
feet in position to allow me to stand at the end of the roll
Hand on the handle, ear to the door
Nothing !!!
Decision time, stay out or go in ?
What to do, what a to do,
Time creeps on hours it feels like
Stood listening at the BIG white door.
Actually it was seconds , barely a minute.
Giggle, Tap and a scurrying sound.
I turn the handle and slowly open the door…..
It is bedtime,come on Son back into bed.
