Confused Monster

confused monster in light gold, blue and green
your job is to be a bully, be crazy and obscene
Your job is to scare people, fill them full of fright
Do I have to do everything for you? Asked his irritated night light

confused monster was mixed up, he did not want to scare
He hid his face in his pillow, refusing to be anywhere but there
his parents were embarrassed, the neighbors pointed him out
They teased him, calling him names, every time that he went out
