Poem 29- Funny night

It was very dark

When I heard my dog bark

I thought somebody was in my house

or was it just a mouse

I tiptoed to the hall

where i tripped over a ball

When I thought I was gone

The lights flashed on

I almost jumped out of my skin

and wobbling was my chin

I thought I'll be shot

But what a shock I got

It was only my mother

Who had come to drink water

so my folk

wasn't this a joke?
