Lurking Outside my door

Laying in my bed
NOT asleep
Writing some Poem
I probably won't keep.

It all sounds pretty good
Only at first
Then a couple days later..
I swear, it's the worst of worst

I think i just noticed
"worst" is a funny word
It's all dysfunctional
Man, I'm a nerd.

Anyways.. I hear a noise,
Outside my door
Am I just paranoid?
I am not sure.

It's creaking and humming
And growling all about
"DONT EAT ME!!!!"
I catch myself shout

Ohhh! Silly me!
It was just the fridge..
Making those noises
That make me cringe.

But there is still something
Something that just seems foul...
OH. MY. GOSH.
My fridge doesn't GROWL!!

Don't panic, don't panic.
It will all be okay...
Help me, help me, help me!
Help me Lord I pray!

My door starts to open,
And I start to whine
But it's just my dog
Everything is just fine

I take off my glasses
To wipe off the fog
And as i do I realize,
Hheeeyy... I don't have a dog...
