The Monster



A monster! A monster!
It is coming for me!
I can see at the end of the hall
As a storm breaks outside
I'm trapped up inside
And no one to hear my calls
 
It's moving! It's moving!
A few strides it takes
It shudders with deadly intent
With each step it makes
The floor seems to quake
I huddle deep into my bed
 
Much closer! Much closer!
I can now see its eyes
They are filled with a fiery glow
And its drooling mouth
With sharp fangs sticking out
Its figure is starting to grow
 
The growling! The howling!
The noises it makes
A sickening slobbering sound
A shriek brings me pain
Such a deadly refrain
As outside the thunder still pounds
 
The candles! The candles!
They've now all gone out
A fearsome howling wind blows
And with each lightening blast
A deep shadow it casts
I sense the beast's breath on my toes
 
It's over! It's over!
For there on my bed
The beast sits there ready to claw
So I close up my eyes
As I sense my demise
And then I remember no more...
 
It's morning! It's morning!
I was not eaten up
For there fast asleep by my head
Curled up in the ball
It's no monster at all
But my frightened pet dog on my bed
