He hides in my closet
he has a scary look
with ridged nails
and pointy sharp white teeth
But he is shy and doesn't come out
till nightfall
when no one can see him
because he is insecure
and he doesn't want to be made fun of
by the other monsters who wander around
Every time I hear him come out
he is humming a tune
I would softly request him to sing
because I cannot sleep
when he would open his mouth
Wonderful words would come out
sounding excellently in tune
even though there was no background music
in my head, his singing sounded like a symphony
was playing the most lovely melody
If I could I would stay up all night
till dawn
when he would retreat back into the closet
I would listen to him all night
But as he sings
the melody floods me
and my eyes can not stay open
as I slip into a deep slumber
I would still hear him singing
When I wake up
my room is soundless
I would look in my closet to see if he is there
but he is hidden
where I cannot find him

He hides in my closet
he has a scary look
with ridged nails
and pointy sharp white teeth
But he is shy and doesn't come out
till nightfall
when no one can see him
because he is insecure
and he doesn't want to be made fun of
by the other monsters who wander around
Every time I hear him come out
he is humming a tune
I would softly request him to sing
because I cannot sleep
when he would open his mouth
Wonderful words would come out
sounding excellently in tune
even though there was no background music
in my head, his singing sounded like a symphony
was playing the most lovely melody
If I could I would stay up all night
till dawn
when he would retreat back into the closet
I would listen to him all night
But as he sings
the melody floods me
and my eyes can not stay open
as I slip into a deep slumber
I would still hear him singing
When I wake up
my room is soundless
I would look in my closet to see if he is there
but he is hidden
where I cannot find him
