There’s a ๓σɳรɬҽɾ in the attic

and he’s making quite a stink

I’m not usually one to panic

but I haven’t slept a wink

👹

The walls are shaking violently

and the floorboards, they’re a-creakin’

and that monster up above me

— I fear he’s not yet eaten

👹

I don’t want to make him angry

I don’t want him to come down

so I lie here without moving

and I do not make a sound

👹

Yet that monster stomps still louder

and he groans and growls and swears

he’s growing quite impatient

I just hope he stays upstairs!

👹

My mom claims it’s the furnace

and the monster’s in my mind

but me, I know better

I’m no kid — I’m nearly nine!

👹

My brother’s sleeping through this

— he’ll be the first to go

the monster’s gonna eat him

I’ve already told him so!

👹

That monster in the rafters

he’s belligerent and surly

but he’s gonna meet his match one day

if he wakes my dad too early!

👹👹
