Monsters

Look under your bed
What is it you see?
Does it have two big tusks?
Has it one eye or three?

Is it’s tail lined with horns?
Is it’s fur blue or green?
Are it’s teeth sharp and pointy?
Is it’s bum nice and clean?

Does it roar like a lion?
Does it growl like a bear?
Does it lie on its side?
Does it sit on your chair?

Have you taught it to dance, 
or at least how to sing?
Can it play the piano?
Can it play ANYTHING?

Does it look like a cat
Or an old pair of socks?
Could it be a stray mouse
Or a sly old red fox?

Does your mum ever ask
‘What’s that under your bed?’
Do you tell her the truth
Or say nothing instead?

So, what’s under your bed?
Can you have a quick peep?
Then forget all about it
And drift off to sleep.
