(Written c.2015)

Thinker and Sleeper run around Johnny’s house

“I remember you coming to visit me”
Johnny is saying
“and about you telling me your thought
oh it was a good one I know
but I don’t recall what it was
I’ve had hundreds of thoughts of my own
since then
You should have written it down
It’s the only thing to do”

“He’s right,” says Thinker

But Sleeper isn’t listening
He’s found a trapdoor in the floor
and he wants to investigate it
“What’s in here?” he asks

“DON’T OPEN THAT!

Don’t you look in there
It contains the demons
The devils of my past
They are waiting for someone to open the door
and let them out
Watch out
See they might be leaking as it is!!”
