Monsters Under the Bed
A poem by WrongJohn

"There's no such thing" my mother said
"As children living on your bed!"


Yes, that's it. If you feel robbed, here's some commentary: If monsters were indeed living under the bed, they'd probably be just as scared as we are - and that's exactly what inspired me many years ago to write this poem. This original poem is one my oldest, but remains one of my favourites. Thank you to @atopy for bringing it to life.

Sort:  

<3 Poor monster....children are really scary, so this was no problem to draw! ty for the opportunity. :)

I always tell my 6 year-old nephew that the monsters under his bed just want pajamas. If they had some they probably wouldn't be so grumpy. This always works. Thanks for sharing!

No problem. And now you can tell him they are scared of your nephew!

Indeed. He will love that! Thank you.

Nice! Reminds me of the world's shortest poem:

An Ode to my Goldfish
Oh, wet, pet.
~anon

Yes I know this one well. The poem where the title is longer than the poem.

A bit like "Oh How the Seasons Delight Me" - Summer Hot, Winter Not

Ha! Not heard that one before. :)

I think I just made it up lol xD
