Poetry There's Creatures

There's Creatures

There's creatures everywhere
over yonder, over there
somes are light and bright and fair
somes are dark and somes despair
slippy, sliding here and there
somes will spy and somes will dare
somes just tangle and ensnare
and somes, just don't seems to care

sneaking, peeking through the trees
like a shadow, no one sees
we can't see, them out of sight
Oh! and don't go out at night

Shish!
Cause there's creatures everywhere
to hear, get near, somewhere
over yonder, over there
USE YOUR CAUTIONARY CARE!

for we-s can't tells what makes them tick,
we-s afraid they'll make us sick,
in their tangles dark and thick
which is why we carry sticks
in case, anybody slips,
And
Again I saa-ys,
We-s don't knows what makes them TICKS!

Sshh!
Cause there's creatures everywhere
somes will tell ya' to beware
sooh-s, use your cautionary care
when you go from here to there

Oh, and don't go out at night,
they might getcha' and they bite.

Yes, there's creatures everywhere
somes will say a little prayer
somes will tippy toe with care
through the forest, sea and air

but most,
most often they won't speaks
there's lots they won't repeats
they pretend they got no feets
and they never gather sweets

and I repeats, they never speaks
and they are awfully hard to meets
sooh-s don't give them trick or treats
less they've nothing else to eats

there's things out in the woods
that might hurt ya' if they coulds
yes, so many coulds in woods
hiding in the woulds and shoulds.

and still more things on the hill
pressing 'gainst your window sill
what's just never get their fill,
of other creature's splats and spills

and there's things just beneath the grass
that tug and trip you as you pass
oh but, you mustn't turns around
when you hear their breathing sound
least you come tumbling down
gets hobbled, gobbled up side down

yes, there's creatures everywhere
making haste from here to there
somes will say a little prayer
most aren't going anywhere
but, still it's their right to breathes,
this I do believes
though I won't stop to sees,
if they are anything like me-s

Shsh!
Cause there's creatures everywhere!
Be cautious treading there
leave no footsteps when they fall
no trail to them at all
yes, use your cautionary care
when treading yonder, over there

Humpff! I think I saws you fall,
hooves got tangled after all
should I stop and turns around
is that a breathing sound
I heard tumble to the ground

Humpff! I'm thinking maybe I should wait
take a chance it's not too late
Cause we all share something,
fate,
air and space that we create.

maybe we-s should all yells,
hey, look at me, I've lots to say
and I wants to shares my day
so, before you-s walks away
take a chance and wait,
say it's not too late
cause we all shares something,
fate, air and space that we create.

'Cause there's creatures everywhere
let's stop running, find a chair
and we can share a little thing
called wide eyed wondering

Stop and listen, I will too
in the hopes we may undo
all the caution in the air
lookin' for nicey, safey places where
we hoped we'd never meets
you with your furry, urry feets
and your eyes of slit and sleet
and your face I never greet,

Hah, now what's that you say
you fell down just yesterday
that's funny so, did I,
have some lemonade and pie
your afraids of scary things'
no hugs and buggy stings
you like stories and pretend,
and you wants to be my friend?

Yes, there's still creatures everywhere
but, now there's one less one to scare
but still,
Still there's watchers in the woods,
hiding in the coulds and shoulds
And I woulds help them if I could
but it won't do-s any good
if you won't goes with me,
you see, that's the way it has to be

for you-s must use cautionary care
when going yonder over there
for there's danger and surprise
in a stranger creature's eyes

And though "we-s all needs the water
and we-s all needs the air"
I know I need more me-s than me,
to meets, the creatures waiting there

watching, waiting, here and there
slippy, sliding everywhere
sneaking, peeking, maybe seeking,
us-s, where?
Over yonder, Over there!
