Monster Under My Bed - Collab With Darrell Rose

I’m alone and scared lying in my bed with a cold wet sweat running down my head In heart pounding fear I will soon be fed To a big hairy creature of my dread A green ugly monster with long sharp claws Yellow spotted teeth and powerful jaws a long pointed tail and twelve massive paws Who takes away children that break Mom’s laws Then Mom comes in with a tuck and a kiss Switches on the night lamp and fears dismiss I peek 'neath the bed and find to my bliss No monster lurks around, nothing's amiss Now I can go to sleep, all fears allayed Towards dreamland, I soar, no more dismayed But I know this giant will not be swayed And come back if I ever disobeyed. (10 syllables) 27th March 2023

You have both penned a delightful seamless collaboration, Jo and Darrell. Mum's magic dust allays fears, but children know not to abuse of it :) Regards // paul

So very cute ! Reads like a fairy tale. Only a mother can quell the fears in a child's mind with such ease. Lovely collaboration. Congratulations to Darrell and Joanna !
