Mom,
did you catch them all,
the monsters under my bed?
they want me to fall,
that’s what I heard.
I am not afraid
they will eat me alive,
but will you come for my aid,
when they arrive.
I can hear you cry!
Is it a monster,
or dad back from the sty?
I hope its the former.
Oh mom,
let’s run away,
or let’s take a ferry
to the blue bay
and live a life that’s merry.
Beautiful.
I wrote a poem similar to this situation a few weeks ago. I’m sorry your mother let you down–as mine did.
