ABC Wednesday...check out more "N" post here
‘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.

Once again I find my mouth smiling as I real and hang on each word.
What is out there???? Will we ever know?
Great N poem!
I love this!
This is a wonderful creation! Made me giggle and have goose bumps all at the same time.
Tis such a mystery...Wonder what was in the night.
Quite lovely and appropriate for N day and the season.
We shall knight you for this ode on the nineteenth at nine!
