This Old Man

This old man, saw him once, walking silently down the street. And then he looked up, and our eyes met. Then my world came falling next.

This old man, saw him twice, this time next to the playground. And then he looked up, and our eyes met. How odd is this coincidence?

This old man, saw him thrice, this time by the old school gate. And then he looked up, and our eyes met. He gave me a crooked wave.

This old man, he's still here, but this time I told my mom. She said, "baby it's alright." But I told her "mommy it's not safe." Then I went to school, and when I got back, the old man was watching me.

This old man is after me, by now I am sure of it. And I told my friends, but they laughed at me. I'm hoping you can save me.

This old man, he's no more, he disappeared when I called the cops. And now I can breathe without worrying that he's gonna follow me.

Two weeks passed, I'm happy, then one day I found a note. It was glued on my entrance door. It said "I miss you" and I hit the floor.

A week went by, nothing changed. I was walking home from school. And then I looked up, and our eyes met. Then I knew that he was back.

I ran home, to my mom. I warned her, but she brushed it off. She went out to dinner, and I stayed home alone. I got a knife and locked the door.

This old man, he's no more. I found him sprawled on my bed. So I took my knife and stabbed him to death. Now there's no more boogieman.
