I’ve a mystery friend that you’ll never see.
He’s an invisible boy who’s often with me.
     I see him right now - he’s there in my sight.
     This strange little person might give you a fright.

​

When I asked him his name he said: 'Mickledy-Me'.
It’s a very strange name as you’ll surely agree.
     With his lovely red hair and funny green face,
     He’s probably come here from far out in space.

​

Though my parents can’t see him, I certainly can.
He creeps on the table and eats all the jam. 
     He dives in the sugar bowl and makes me laugh
     And then hides the soap when I’m taking a bath.

​

He gets on my bed when I’m trying to sleep
And when nobody’s looking he’ll shout out ‘peep peep’.
      My parents look puzzled when they hear a sound
      For it’s strange to hear noises when no one’s around.

​

I’ve tried to explain him to Mum and to Dad,
But they, I am sure, think I’m going quite mad.
     My school friends believe me, there isn’t a doubt,
     But there’s trouble and happiness when he is about.
