Poem by Heather

I skulked down the stairs in the dead of night,

The creaking floorboards presented a fright.

I slinked into the kitchen,

Then slipped[61]  onto the floor,

“Oh my God, that stupid door!”

I got back on my feet,

And searching for a midnight treat,

My eyes found the cupboard.

I smiled with glee.

My hand gripped the handle,

And when I opened the cupboard door,

I squealed in delight!

 It was filled with cookies, chocolate and sugary sweets,

 So I grabbed all could and sat in the corner to eat,

All of a sudden the lights flicked on,

As by the door a pair of livid eyes shone…
