The Thread Bear

I have a Thread Bear in my room. He prowls there when I’m not.
He’s messed up all my clothes and now he’s wearing out my cot.
He lurks inside my closet. He’s made a den in there.
His fur is likely made of dust, I see it everywhere.

He steals the threads from collars, he’s opened up my seams.
I’m sure that he’s responsible for those unseemly dreams.
I tried to capture and evict him with new clothes inside a box,
But so far he has eluded me. I think he picks the locks.

I’ve joined the Nudist Colony so I can shed him from my life,
Before I get too bald from all the stresses and the strife.
At least there’s one advantage to my living in that place,
I won’t be too ashamed because of clothes to show my face.

[JustAmy]

My dog goes out into the night, at the end of every day,
Where the first thing that she does is bark, to chase the dark away.
Of course, she’s not afraid of it, just wants to give the warning,
That it had better pack its stuff, and clear out by the morning.

So then she goes to restful sleep, content that all is right,
And when she checks on things again, there’s nothing left of night!
She seems to be more happy then, it seems to thrill her heart,
To know that darkness ran away, and she has done her part!

I haven’t tried explaining, the way things really are,
Besides, I like the cheerfulness, of my bright morning star!
She is a useful watchdog, she watches Day and Night.
And anything she doesn’t like, just barks it out of sight.
