The Monster At Home
Cathy was a very special girl
she was loved by her mom and dad
of course she was their world
dad taught her running golf
and to be proud
he never warned her
of the monster at home
she heard it day and night
it was loud dad didn't tell her
how to get away
if the monster
should come out one day
he lived in the room
with mom and dad
she always heard him
behind the door as mom cried
things crashed to the floor
furniture and glass
soon some time had passed
mom cried some more
and then became quiet
it was the same sound
after a riot a since of peace
and then an open door
she peeked in the room
and mom was on the floor
at first she felt a since of relief
but mom wasn't moving
and in came the police
she was scared and also very sad
because to her surprise
the monster was dad
