Monster

I hear it at night
when I turn out the light
The monster under my bed.
It’s big and green
And looks pretty mean!
He won't go away,
he wants to stay
I told him to go,
but he shook his head no.
I gave him a nudge
but he still wouldn't budge.
So I fired ten missiles from my army launcher
But he dodged them quick as you please
This called for a drastic maneuver
So I charged under my bed with my mom’s Hoover.
He gave a roar and ran for the closet
Oh, great, now I have a monster in my closet!
Now this made me sore
So I cried This is war!
I sent an army of soldiers dressed in green
followed by a troop of dinosaurs looking so mean
He welcomed them with a grin
and ate them with glee!
I screamed that's enough
It’s time to get tough .
You asked for it, Monster I said.
I picked up and threw
with aim true,
Into the closet my sneaker
One whiff of the sneaker
Made the monster grew weaker.
So I tossed in my dirty socks for good measure
He staggered out gasping for air.
He coughed and collapsed with a wheeze
and accused me of not playing fair.
This happens every time
I have committed no crime!
He cried
Then holding his nose
with his eight hairy toes
the monster staggered across the floor
smashing right through the door.
I was rid of him once and for all.
The very next night as I turned out my light
I heard my sister shout out to my mother,
Mom, there is a monster in my room!
