Monsters

Raise you hands above your head
Scream your lungs out right in bed
Mom is watching every move
As you try to prove

monsters! monsters! in the closet
Mom kisses you on the cheek
says good night honey you need your sleep
Lights go off what do you see
The dark dim moonlight creeping in
Scritch! Scratch! of the tree
leaning against my window pane
Whish! goes the wind in the midst of the night

Closet opens slowly apart
AAAAHHH!! I scream please end the fright
Mom comes back back in, we are at the start
Honey she says there is nothing there

the closet opens, out pops a monster
Green, hideous, a little bit tiny
It is all so whiny
Mom grabs a shoe
Puts it over the monster and Splat!
just like that
Worries over now at last

Good night Sweety there is nothing to fear
Lights go out
What do I see
Darkness, darkness all about
Mom forgot about the monster, monster under the bed!
But I lay down, count to three
monster, monsters are just all in my head
