NB: Based on a true story of the monster that use to live under my bed
Loopy Lopsy Loppity Lou – The Monster under the bed
Under my bed
While I’m trying to sleep
A monster is wide awake
With claws,
With teeth!
She has a fuzzy round body,
And I can’t even mention her eyes
SCARY AND TERRIFYING
Big and wide!But perhaps the worst part
The most terrible thing
Is that she is a noisemaker!
The loudest monster I ever seen.She starts off banging hammers
Then using a saw
She pokes at the mattress
And says things to herself“Garrr,
Grrr,
Grumble,
roar”But every time I try to look
She stays quiet
Stares and blinks!What is she doing?
Why is she making noise?
I ask her but she never replies…
Just continues on
While I sit in bed
Hamming,
Banging,
Saying strange things…That is until one day it was quiet
And I thought to myself
This is strange and not natural! …
So I take a look!
From the side of the bed!
I lower my head
And take a little peakIts turns out
After all of this time
This monster of mine
That’s so noisy and loud
Was building a space ship!!
UNDER MY BED!
How it fitted under there…
Well I cant explain!She is sitting inside
And waves goodbye
Then in a blast of smoke
She had vanished, gone poof!But she leaves a note
As it turns out she was friendly
It says so clearly,
A rather nice message!“I am Loopy
Lopsy
Loppity
Lou
Sorry for all the noise
I just wanted to get back home.”All this time
And I was afraid of nothing!
She wasn’t a monster at all
Just a lost alien or something!And so this is the story
Of what was under my bed!
If you think you have a monster too…
First check its not an lost alien!

No monsters under my bed Matty. I used to have crocodiles and was tooooo scared to get out of bed at night in case the crocodiles got me. The bedroom flloor was a vaast mass of water in which the crocodiles lurked.
Can’t remember how old I was though.
I like your story and how wonderful the view of the world is thrrough a childs eyes 🙂
