Poor bogeyman.

For all his ferocity when riled up, he is a real softie at heart. Some parts of his job description take him through a lot of horrible incidents.

What happened to bogey?

As mentioned in the header above the poem, "Vigil Ante" is a direct sequel to "Not Mine." He's melting down after having walked in on an unpleasant incident of child abuse. This does not make for a restful night in Monster House.

Ah yes, I should have known that.

You made me splash tears on my shirt. Poor Bogey.

Thank you! ysabetwordsmith March 11 2012, 01:00:39 UTC

I'm glad you found this poem so touching.

Yeah, he had a seriously rotten day.
