We’re in My Room
Hairy Monster is under my bed,
Dining on dust bunnies and moldy bread;
Occasionally a sock but never a shoe -
Living as all under-bed monsters do.
Shadow Thing lurks in my closet,
Listening and watching me vacuum the rug;
When I’m away it reads my diary -
Just as nosy a thing as a shadow can be.
Spider owns a corner of the ceiling,
Seems to find the spot appealing;
Weaving webs and snaring flies -
Every so often catching my eyes.
In my room I’m not quite alone,
The space is a crowded zone;
Monster, Shadow, Spider, Me -
Who could ask for better company?
