The Ultimate Protection Against Monsters

The Ultimate Protection Against Monsters

By Elton Camp

Little Leroy is frightened at night
About horrid monster prone to bite

He has learned the danger to cure
Any part under the cover is secure

There a brute can’t break through
In order, any grievous harm to do

Since Leroy even covered his head
He feared of suffocation to be dead

Finally, a solution his dad did provide
Which little Leroy gratefully tried

If a snorkel is thrust out into the air
The child could breathe under there

Leroy slept very peacefully that way
All gruesome monsters kept at bay

I'm 73 years old, but well remember keeps well back from the edge of the bed and making sure all body parts were underneath the cover. I KNEW better, but for a little kid, logic is less important than emotion sometimes. Thanks for reading. Elton
