In a dark dark night
I awoke and had a fright
It was so bright,but I still couldn’t see,

I switched on the bedside night
But it was already alight
And standing in front of me was the Thee.

Thee is a ferocious devil,
His big growling dog is called Neville.
But Neville wasn’t here tonight,

“Thank god!” I thought,
As I looked over my cot,
For if Neville was here, I would have got more than a fright.

The Thee looked around in large red eyes and at once I pretended to sleep,
“Wake up!” he hissed. “wake up, you dolt, wake up you silly creep!”
“I’m hungry and I want some food so give me a bout at once!”

I could not reply,
The Thee sighed!
And gave a mighty pounce!

Without wasting any time,
He bit a foot of mine,
And I shrieked in pain!

He took another helpful,
And more, till his tummy became quite full,
And I was never ever seen in that world again.

Hold on! I am seen still,
By little kids who are just perfect to fill,
The Thee’s and my tummy at once!

Cause now, I’m a devil
And I share my room with Neville,
But I don’t remember who I was once.
