A Monster's In My Dryer

A monster’s in my dryer
A monster took my clothes
What exactly happened to them
Heaven’s only knows.

Have you met this monster before?
The monster that eats my socks?
I know he eats and listens
But I’m not so sure he talks.

The monster that’s in my dryer
Tries to eat my T- shirts too
Something’s eating them that’s for sure
It sounds like something a monster would do.

He eats up all the evidence
That guilty rascal him
I don’t understand when he eats my clothes
Where in the world does he stuff them.

If this monster in my lint department shows up,
I will trap him and throw him away.
And if he ever shows up in yours,
Please do the same for me, OK?
