Dark places. by Desna Wallace.
It’s dark and wet,
With slimy, Slithery creatures,
In the deepest, darkest coiner,
Of the ocean.
It’s dark and wet,
With spooky shadowy shapes,
In the deepest darkest corner
Of the forest.
It’s dark and wet,
With soggy, smelly sandwiches,
In the deepest, darkest corner,
Of my brothers school bag.
