There's a monster under my bed
That's his home but I never see
He haunts me day and night. I fear
What will he do, devours the best
Monster 'neath my bed has no name
Had he one, it I wouldn't say
Been said he eats small girls alive
Keep quiet, eyes closed, try to sleep
There's a monster under my bed
He drives me insane, thoughts of him
How do I know he's really there
My brother told me long ago There's a monster down there I know
Every night, way to end my day
Mother said my monsters aren't real
Perhaps they aren't but still I look

Ah yes nearby double check for yourself
ReplyDeleteCute write Jim
Much love...
I will only realise that I need to clean out dust bunnies... that's monster enough for me these days,
ReplyDeleteI was never worried about what was under the bed but after reading the MR James story 'I'll Come To You, My Lad', I was terrified about what might be under the covers!
ReplyDeleteAh yes.. the age old monster under the bed! Brilliant write, Jim.
ReplyDeleteI had to get my mother to check each night, but the real monster was my brother who suggested they were there! This took me back a few years Jim.
ReplyDeleteLike this very much, Jim...It's different in some way, but I don't know what. Reads well aloud. And there are STILL monsters under our beds regardless our age.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when I was young and afraid to climb out of bed in the dark in case a monster grabbed my ankle.
ReplyDeleteNow that I am older I do wonder how small those monsters under the bed must have been.
