Down in the basement

I heard a thud

It doesn't bring me any entertainment

Sounds out of the ordinary

Down in the basement

Deciding to investigate

Curiosity can be an ailment

Walking to the top of the stairs

That leads down to the basement

Opening the door

That leads to my amazement

Each step creaks

As I walk down to the basement

Surrounded by the darkness

A scurry along the pavement

My mind is a mystery

Wishing to find myself in the basement
