Tear for Fears



Help
me,
help
me,
night
time star
Keep the
monsters
where they are
Keep the monsters well away
Keep them from me from this day
I see them when I look around,
but then they’re gone without a sound.
I hear them scuttle across the floor
I hear them tapping on the door
I feel them brush my cheeks at night
they wake me up with such a fright
they whisper words I can not hear
They breathe. They smell.
They push and pull. They
laugh they
feed. They
love my fear. They
lift, they drop
,
They
NO!


They’re here!

      Thanks, Sue… the tear shape seems to have worked OK!
      You have a good evening too… it’s freezing cold here (brrr!) (but maybe that’s just me!)

      Oh no!
      Icewolf, I know exactly what you are going through there… hope those gremlins are sorted sooner rather than later!

        They were very tiresome gremlins! I think they have keeled over and died in a byte or two of annoyingness but who knows? It is really bad weather again tonight and the connection gremlins are going to love it! They are probably preparing to toss the connection into a portal of gremlinness! Not sure how I’m supposed to catch up after 3 days out but I hope to be visiting yours very soon 🙂 Hope all’s well with you 😉

              You’ve not opened any portals yourself recently, have you?

                Well…I did open my bathroom door… 😉 And I did run out of hair gel – texturising wax to be precise…and I did have to take the lid off to discover that point so… 😀 Now I’ve kicked the washing machine door hard enough to get it open I’ve probably opened the washing machine portal which is far,far worse than the one in your bathroom!! Oh Wolf!!

                    Exactly!! Worse still I think this portal arrived via your bathroom’s portal ;)… so we’re all in deep portalistic trouble! 🙂
