Under My Bed
Daddy there's a monster under my bed!
No... Silly girl...
You have been misled...
But daddy I hear it breathing!
I know it's real!
Dear, you know your cries are
my Achilles' heel...
Please come and look!
I am so scared!
OK I'll look!
I can't have you despaired...
Daddy why do you stare under my bed so long?
Honey you were right, and I was wrong!
Indeed there IS a monster under your bed!
Child when will you realize that your daddy is dead?!
