Monsters Are Real

I sit up in bed

As click clacking claws cross the floor

A rumble grumble

And shadows swirling by the door.

 

Under the covers

Thumping my heart beats in my head,

My eyes are closed tight

Something slithers under the bed.

 

I have just one chance

I grip my trick-or-treat bag tight

Throw down my candy

As I leap with all of my might.

 

You may laugh at me

But monsters are real I must warn

For here is my proof:

It ate all of the candy corn!
