Night and Night

Twas deep; so deep of night, 

When I saw what I had seen - 

So truly deep of night, 

When I went where I had been, 

And really deep of night, 

When I heard what I had heard: 

Perhaps a fox or badger, 

Or a sort of night-time bird.

‘Twas late that night of nights, 

When something there was there -

So very late that night of nights, 

Where that thing was where -

'Twas deep of night of nights, 

When it ran to where it ran: 

Perhaps a stoat or Billy goat, 

Or ghostly little man.

‘Twas in the night of night of nights, 

When something scary caused a scare -

So late of night of night of nights, 

When something hairy raised my hair -

The deep of night of night of nights…

So don’t you wonder what it was? 

Well I never really truly saw it –

Why? Because because! 

‘Twas in the night of night of night of nights

Oh I've had enough! 

Night night.
