Night Lights
Night puts on its
thinking hat,
the moon and stars and
planets too.
It dims the light but
leaves its night
light on for us to enjoy
and witness.
There is a dog that
barks at noise.
There is a cat burglar
who is not
too fond of cats. He
peeks through
windows to see if the
coast is clear.
Those who make money
through
thievery really should
get an honest
job. Crime pays until it
does not.
Night watches everything
we do.
There are rare times we
are treated
to a total eclipse.
There are rumors
that UFOs prefer to come
out at
night. I have yet to see
one for real.
