Monsters Beware

Oh, little sister, just remember what I've said
Don't you worry 'bout those monsters, hiding underneath your bed
They think they got me scared 
Like a frightened little boy
But I got some news for them
I just bought some brand new toys

I have a super soaker, that's filled with holy water
And a Nerf Gun that I nick-name, Welcome to the slaughter
And a GI-Joe, will back me up, he swears he won't retreat
But I had to promise him, plastic's not what monsters eat 

And of course I have the Marvels, Spidey,Iron,and good old Thor
The four Fantastic people, and a half a dozen more
But, if they fail their mission, doing everything they can 
I promise little sister, I'll be there to hold your hand

super cute, but I think she said we had to write MORE than 30 lines or something?? Gotta check that again. Good luck, jerry.

I know it's not what she is looking for, I was hoping that she wouldn't mind me parking it there, thanks Andrea

Such a beautiful poem that plays on our heart strings. Thank you for sharing this. Having two sons I know that's exactly how they think. So cute, funny and touching.

I was inspired the previous day at the market, by a little boy about 5 yrs and what I assumed was his younger sister, perhaps 4, holding hands where ever they went. We should all be holding hands. Thank you Brenda for taking the time to comment on my stuff
