"there's a Monster In Me Room"
He lay in his bed
Trembling with fear
Scared of the monsters
That may be near
He called for his dad
And said “I’m scared”
He went under the blankets
And covered his head
“Where’s no monsters son”
“Not in this house here”
They are scared of me
“Cause I’ll box their ears”
With his son reassured
Dad switched off the light
Kissed son on the head
And said “Goodnight”
An hour later
Came a scream from the room
Dad runs up stairs
And bursts in with a boom
There stood a monster
A Hideous gore
On this occasion it wasn’t
Larry’s mother-in-law
Dad didn’t show his fear
He kicked it on the knee
The monster screamed
As it started to bleed
Then dad pulled it’s nose
And smacked it on the head
The monster was in tears
And this is what it said:
“You hitting” it roared
“That’s not fare”
“You hurt me knee”
“And pulled out a hair”
“You big bully”
“Why you doing this?”
“I just came in here”
“To give the child a kiss”
Dad rushed to the switch
And on came the light
He saw the monster
A terrible sight
Dad’s eyes popped
And knew it was the end of his life
It was a crossed eyed woman
The one he called his beloved wife
