_{my little monster,
lives inside a cage.
he gnashes on the bars,
whenever he's in a rage.

my monster has long gnashing teeth,
all gleaning and white.
he has big green eyes,
hard, jealous, and bright.

my monster is a little one,
i keep him very small.
because when he was bigger,
i had to chain him to the wall.

my monster isn't scaley,
he hasn't got dark fur.
he doesn't bark or howl
or caw or hiss or purr.

my monster has no cavities,
he will not eat your sweets.
and though his teeth are razor sharp,
he has no taste for meat.

my monster feeds on memories,
from oh so long ago.
he likes to put them in his tea,
to sip them nice and slow.

my monster likes to keep me sad,
to lure me to his door.
he doesn't want me to leave him there
on the cage there on the floor.

my monster likes to bite me,
but he barely leaves a mark.
my monster longs for the days
when i was sobbing in the dark.

my monster isn't happy,
in fact he's in a fright.
because i'm about to open the window
and let in all the light.}
