Under my bed

"Under my bed"

On top of my bed, I lay my head,

I start to recall what my mother once said

"You must be a good little boy"

"Be nice to others and share your toys"

I never listened, or understood,

I never obeyed like she thought that I would

Until this very day, on top of my bed I lay,

Regardless of what she would say

But tonight I finally understand,

For under my bed I see two eyes, and a hand

A hand with claws, coming my way,

A tail, and feet, tap where I lay

I shout, I scream, but still two eyes gleam

Still slithery tail, and clawed feet,

Creep to me as fast as my heart could beat

I want to leave, as it tugged on my sleeve,

I want to go, as it tickled my toes

I want to cry as it stared through my eyes

But I've been bad, with all my fibs and lies

Suddenly, from the far door I hear my mother say,

"I told you to be good, little boy, now you shall pay."
