Monster In The Closet Poem by Juan Olivarez

Monster in the closet,
Starring out at me.
Wonder if he just got fed,
Looks like he could eat a tree.

There's a monster underneath,
My bed and I wonder why.
Does he have such smelly breath,
That new scope he's got to try.

There's a monster looking in,
My bedroom window with delight.
He's got gravy on his chin,
This guy really is a sight.

Well I got to go to sleep,
You monsters need to go back home.
To La La land you have to creep,
Cause I always sleep alone.
