Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
It must be that time of the day again
That magical time
Filled with laughs and good rhyme
And children avoiding their mothers

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
Quickly! Run to the tunnels
Of caverns and crevices,
Niches and halls
Plentiful places to hide
Oh my!

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
The evening bell tolls loudly
Sending some to their homes quite sadly
While the children play on
Or burst into song
Avoiding bed time once again
Something silly. And just in case anyone makes the vague connection, no I was not thinking about the Piper who led the children away from their home because their parents wouldn't pay him after he got rid of their rats. But a while after writing this, I remembered that story...

So, in essence, if you get past the fact that this sounds like a nursery rhyme, it's kind of dark.
