Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Let's Bogey

I've been around for centuries.

Parents do talk of me a lot

To make kids do as parents please.

So a scary rep I have got.

A misbehaving child is told

To better behave or else I

Will come, and that child I'll grab hold,

And take away bad gal or guy.

I might hide under the bed or

Maybe in the closet I'll be.

The naughty kid's scared all the more

Of not being sure where is me.

I can be a he or a she,

A bogeyperson I do be.
