There is a monster in my closet,
One I feed cookies and teach chemistry.
Where did it come from I wonder,
This orange and tiny mystery.
It hugs my fingers, licking cookie crumbs,
Seems to want from me some hugs,
This tiny paw, little tongue,
Purring whiskers, snarling song.

There is a monster in my closet,
It's been a while, maybe shes under the faucet,
Now my cookies lay, uneaten, Untaught,
A furry enigma, now gone.
