My Special Friend

The sun has gone to sleep.
It’s time to go to bed,
Or so my parents say.
But they don’t know about Fred.

Once I’m all tucked in
And night-nights have been said;
Once I’m all alone,
I am alone with Fred.

At first there will be noises
That only I can hear.
Then he will peek out.
At first I felt such fear!

But Fred is really nice
And we have lots of fun!
Shame he can’t play with me
Outside in the sun.

I have a special friend
Who lives under my bed.
He is as old as I am
And his name is Fred.
