Poem
Goodnight my dear boy and what's that you say? You want me to chase the bad monsters away? Well, I'll tell you a tale that may just be true And if it's made up, it is done just for you... I know you're afraid of the dark and the gloom When you lie wide awake all alone in your room 'Scardy cats prowl and their tattle-tales pester Goose bumps may prickle and worry-warts fester Shadow-ghosts creep up and crawl to your cover You roll on your side but then you discover The thump in your pillowcase whispers too loud So here's what I've done and I know you'll be proud... I've met with the monster man under your bed He thinks you will find he is not much to dread He just needs a friend and to know that you care So if you reach down he'll shake hands from his lair I've found where that boogie man hides in the wall He's cramped and alone and he waits for your call He believes you're convinced he is ugly and mean And hold him to blame when you have a bad dream Your monster man's fierce and has razor-sharp teeth But he understands things that may stir underneath Your boogie man knows what you don't want to find And what's around corners and hidden behind... They'd like to come out and tell you a story (Perhaps something scary but nothing too gory) Sit up and talk with them late into night Come morning they'll gladly slip back out of sight But at night they'll grow strong to protect like they should To face down your fear and show evil what's good Stand watch while you sleep, they will stay by their mark If you wake you might catch their eyes glow in the dark... It's then as you grow you may find you walk bolder With two fearsome friends striding close by your shoulders They'll go anyplace as a general rule (But maybe you'd better not bring them to school) If witches and dragons can streak through the sky Then monsters and boogie men surely must fly! At the edge of your sleep (when you just start to doze) Whisper the password and wiggle your toes... And they'll sweep you away to soar like a dove Over the rooftops to heavens above! Up into orbit to your own private place High on a mountaintop floating in space Sit back and relax with a satisfied grin Laughing and singing as you watch the earth spin Hum along while your boogie man growls a brave tune Count stars while your monster man howls at the moon
