Wind rattled the chimney, it whipped at the door
     And the lights of the house all went out.
I heard someone screaming from not far away,
     And I felt that a ghost was about.

​

The window panes rattled, the curtains then moved
     And ghostly shapes moved round the wall.
A feeling of terror made me shiver with fear
     As I heard a loud scream in the hall.

​

A gripping fear caused me to shiver and shake,
     Then I suddenly woke from my dream.
It was only the sound of my brother next door
     And his nightmare had caused him to scream.

​

Our parents came running to settle us down
      And with comforting words they both said:
'The ghosts only come to plague children who eat
      Cheesy crisps before going to bed.'
