Here is “Midnight” by Naoise:
At 10.45 two children were out,
Daring each other as they went about,
One was a boy and one was a girl
And their dares were enough to make anyone curl.
At 10.50 the boy, the girl he dared,
To go to the forest where everyone was scared
And the girl did not refuse,
For if she did wimp she would be accused.
At 11.00 she went in,
To that place were there was not any din,
And a spirit she saw that scared her so,
A dreadful man who’s face did not show.
At 11.10 the boy heard her screams
And he came in to see something from his scariest dreams,
A man with a knife all dripping and red,
But he knew he was not in his safe warm bed.
At 11.25 they saw a house,
The forest was as silent as a mouse,
Then a cackling broke through the night,
Giving them both a horrible fright.
At 11.30 they went through the doors,
Both their breathing and voices were hoarse,
Ghosts filled the rooms, there was no way of escape,
As much as they ran nothing went away.
At 11.45 they reached the top,
Soon these ghosts would have to stop,
But try as they might they just wouldn’t go,
They had to capture this unwanted foe.
At 11.55 they were surrounded
Nothing would stop ghosts, they’d flatten people to the ground,
And the boy and the girl were in it together
How long ’til they got out?
Midnight: Never.
