A scary thought, I thunk. A darkened room, I entered. A scary
thought, I thunk. "Monsters in the corner by the dresser, there
they are!" Listened very closely To the monsters' breath, I
did! And right behind the door, mind you, I very nearly hid!
But discovered there, just then, was I. And here no matter how
I'd try, My eyes, they did, began to cry. And wondered me, "Oh,
die, would I?" By me, the shadows start to creep. By then, I
was most sure to weep! Monsters now saw me, did they. Would last
day, this be, today? Now courage slow, began to come. And slow,
did I, begin to hum. And whistle too, came from my lips. And
through my fear, I pushed, I did! Stared those eyes, behind
the dresser. Closer came me, to my death day. As I walked on,
towards the corner, I knew, not I, just what to think. But
then, now it was time to see what was this source of mystery? I
jumped up, as it jumped up too! Found I, it was my new cat,
'Mew'! Breathed I, a heavy sigh of ease. Good sleep for me was
sure to come. Now undressed I, quite safe at last. This awful
time was surely past! And as I drifted off to sleep, I heard
the most amazing peep! Now sudden now, woke up in dread, Now
monsters now, under my bed! April 30, 2003 [Kenneth Udut]
