i lie in my bed, wide awake,

thinking about scrumtious chocolate cake,

suddenly i see a shadow at my door,

it moves across the wooden floor.

the shadow slides underneath my bed, 

and i see it turn its pointed head.

after a while the figure comes out

and decides not to play about.

it rips up my book,

i'm too scared to look.

the sharp claws flash the razer teeth begin to gnash.

the monster freezes, a sudden stop

and i feelas if i am about to pop.

the figureprowls across the floor 

and gives a bone-chilling roar.

i wish i still had a night light 

for who knows if this creature might bite.

i'm scared out of my wits

for i might just get crunched to bits.

the monsorus beast leaps up high,

i'm convinced that i am about to die.

the thing stalks towards me,

i knew it wouldn't just leave me be.

i scream out loud with all my might,

i'm not going down without a fight.

abruptly my lights are turned on by my mom

i realize the creature is actually only the pom.

from the look on my mothers face

i know that nothing is out of place.

i lie down in my comfortable bed 

with Teddy Bear and nothing more is said.
