Midnight

When the night turns to morning
But no light is seen
Something else is a gleam
There is a faint jingle
And the pitter patter of feet
And this is the sign
Not everyone is asleep
Someone is awake before the sun
And Midnight Crazies have begun
A slender shadow chases a ball
So silent no one can hear it
But that is soon changed
When a new shadow appears
A shadow with two small pointed ears
They tussle and chase
For an hour or two
But soon this all stops
The sun has awoken
So now all is still
The silence unbroken
