Were you hassled by a monster
who you think lives under your bed?
Did it sink it’s ugly teeth
into your bottom or your head?
Was its breath so very foul
that it made you turn your head?
Did it find its way right to you
or ask directions to you instead?
Did it sniff your toes and drool
as it eyed the lovely treat?
Did it lick its snout and smile
thinking lunch today was feet?
Did your mother never teach you
how to make a monster go?
It’s something really simple
that every kid should know.
Monsters never have a lawyer
to speak on their behalf.
The way to force him out the door?
Just look at him and laugh.
