The Dream Stealers

Keep your children close at night
For the Squidgicum-Squee's a creeping
Never let them leave your sight
Or forever there'll be weeping Count your children one to ten
And when you've finished, count again For where you counted ten before
You'll find that there are ten no more When the Squidgicum-Squee comes creeping.
