The Midnight Oil

The night monster

"For sometimes, the real demons aren't out there in the world, but right at home, right beside you, just hiding under covers.
You just need to notice them in order to change things for the better."

~~~~~~~~~~

Beware the monster under the bed;

It's a creepy little thing, never quiet dead.

It stays in shadows in the reign of moon,

But comes out to play when it's high noon.

This monster then looses hair and height;

It drops nails and fangs, and swears not to bite.

The scaled and charred skin then falls,

Giving way to small, brown fur balls.

Slowly then fades away the black hue,

And little beady eyes start to peak through.

Now reciprocal of the deadly night,

The Dragon feigns to be the shining knight.

Dearest young children now listen hereto,

For I tell a tale of much deathly truth.

Beware the little cute teddy on your bed;

For it's really the night monster, just without the hedious head.
