A young man—I saw
Craning at the door
He was peeking, I guessed
But through keyholes instead

He seemed to peruse
House to house-he choose
When everyone's asleep
When none's awake but me

It seemed so surreal
To see his awkward keel
So obscure to pick—he was
Searching for I don't know what

He approached and readied his guile
With his schizophrenic smile
He looked like a calloused beast
My fear suddenly increased

He kneeled again like a Neanderthal
And poked his tongue in my keyhole
I was at the window ready to defend
Quite ambivalent to not contend

My doorknob clicked open, I guaranteed
His tongue out, shaped like my key
My lanky body-don't fail me now!
Yet I attacked somehow

I quickly regret my sporadic move
He protruded his tongue—how rude!
My big brother then came out
With his big bat and the man passed out
