The Monster
It came from beneath the swamp
to look for the one he lost
it went around the marsh to romp
even though it was a deadly cost
The woman in the house
with her husband on the loose
her boyfriend silent as a mouse
was getting the booze
and the thing came through the door
confused, and looking for his wife
when he saw her new boyfriend roar
he nearly took away his life
the wife, happy to reunite
the husband, happy she's alive
and she took one look at him in the light
and struck him with a knife
