Hello Darkness

From an idea by my comedian son @davegreen2


Hello darkness my old friend

Where you been since we last met?


Been around, done this and that

Slept all day, been up all night.

Scared some kids, lurked under beds

Hung around, avoided light.


Good to meet with you again

Not done much exciting then?


Can't say much, it's best kept quiet

Happens in the dead of night

Covered up some shady stuff

Enough of that, I've said too much!


Well, well old friend what can I say?

Seldom see the light of day.


Seldom stray from out the shadows

Creep around, make scary sounds

But I sometimes have my moments

Times when folk like me around.


Caught you last week at the fireworks

Guess that's kind of thing you mean?

Be no light without you Darkness

You're the background set the scene.


Goodbye darkness my old friend

Great to meet with you again.
