Keep your children close at night

For the Squidgicum-Squee’s a creeping

Never let them leave your sight

Or forever there’ll be weeping

Count your children one to ten

And when you’ve finished, count again

For where you counted ten before

You’ll find that there are ten no more

When the Squidgicum-Squee comes creeping.

Or are they already too late?
