It's No Monster

That's no monster I lie down at night with a little fright. I like to have the light on to keep me safe from all that lurks I look a round the room to determine if they are there. I don't see them anywhere, but I know they will come. Monsters are always there green ones or ones in black. All I know it is true so I hid my head so they can't find me. Then I hear a voice that comes that I cannot stand at night. It's not at the window but at the foot of the bed. The like goes out I do dread. Then I take that last one look. Then I see it's my mom not a monster.
