I Live Under the Bed

I live under the bed Sleep with the “dust kittens” I guess I appear scary To the children When they catch a glimpse of me. Not my fault!! Every time I come out From under the bed The “dust Kittens” Come along with me making me look large and unshapely. I have a simple request: “please clean under the bed” That will take care of the “dust kittens” And, I hope, my scariness. Oh, and kindly use a soft mop Those brooms hurt. John G. Lawless ©5/10/2023

was this written for a grand afraid of the dark or are you perhaps literally sleeping under the bed? I guess I didn't quite get this one.
