One Night

I woke up in the middle of the night,
A ghost was sitting by my side.
He asked, “How was your sleep?”
I replied, “Why are you looking at me like a creep?”
“I wanted to know if you had a good sleep.”
“Well, not with someone watching me.”
“Shall I sing you a lullaby ?”
“I wish you’d just go away.”
“Well, I only came to say Hi.”
“Do you really need a reply?”
“No, my work here is done.”
As he left, my breath returned, and my eyes opened wide.
