When i was a child i was afraid of the Boogeyman
That fear was that during the night the Boogeyman would come
The Boogeyman was a he as well the Boogeyman was a she
The Boogeyman was an Olga or an androgyny 
Who would kidnap and eat naughty children
As i got older but was still afraid of the Boogeyman 
I would shout out loud "come out Boogeyman for i will take you on"
To be safe and brave i kept my bedroom light on
My nephew was afraid at bedtime for a boy in school told him about the Boogeyman
My nephew asked me if there is a Boogeyman or not
I told him there where no such thing as the Boogeyman
He said "how do you know"
And in reply, i told him "because i ate the very last one"
