Beware the gremlin (a rhyme i wrote to scare the little children)

On midsummer's eve when the moon is dark
and on the cow bell's toll and far dog's bark
comes the sound on the breeze of dancing feet
beware, oh children, take care, take heed!

Do not dare wander into that black night
where the faeries dance on brambles light
instead hide your heads and shut your eyes
and pray that others should be so wise

For wicked gremlins with the faeries dance
and spells they shall spin as they sylphlike prance
and you they'll bewitch if find you they should
upon yonder henge and in yonder wood.
