A Lullaby in Monotone

The monsters linger beneath the beds

of every slumb'ring babe.

Fangs bared,

ambitiously waiting

the children to sleep.

The ghouls slip silently into their dreams

To devour them

from the inside out.

The Cyclopes lick their jaws

and the banshees screech

their battle cries

for the feast is about to begin.

So snuggle down

and close your eyes

'less you're afraid of the dark.

For they're coming.

That's simple fact is true.

And for dinner tonight;

they are serving

you.
