monsters recognize other monsters

He is coming this way! My husband yelled.
I know he was hiding now, he is fearful of people.
Come on out, I told him. This is not a human.
He is a monster, like us.

The monster handed me a yellow daisy.
Welcome to the neighborhood, he said.
The rest of them are crazy, but I am sane.
I knew he was.

Monsters recognize other monsters.
