Monsters' Bedtime Scare

Monsters' Bedtime Scare

Dusk in Monster Town, monsters gearing up for bed.
In Monster Town, as night draws near, little monsters feel a certain fear.
Monsters imagining humans under the bed.
They fret about the space beneath, where humans hide with gritted teeth.
Small blue monster, wide green eyes, spiky hair questioning why they must look under the bed.
'Why must we check?', young Grumble asks, taking on the nightly tasks.
Tall purple monster, caring yellow eyes, long arms explains the routine to Small blue monster, wide green eyes, spiky hair with a smile.
Mum says with a gentle smile, 'To ensure all's clear, it's worth our while.'
Checking under the bed together, finding nothing.
Under the bed, they take a peek, no humans there, not even a squeak.
Searching the closet, discovering only clothes.
In closets next, they search with care, finding only clothes hanging there.
Tall purple monster, caring yellow eyes, long arms assures Small blue monster, wide green eyes, spiky hair that all is safe in their home.
'It's safe, my dear, now you can rest, knowing our home has passed the test.'
Small blue monster, wide green eyes, spiky hair accepts and gets ready for bed contentedly.
Grumble nods and climbs to bed, with dreams of human-free fun ahead.
Repeating the routine for peaceful sleep.
They check each night, to be quite sure, that their sweet dreams will be secure.
Moral of checking spaces from a human perspective.
This tale of Monster's bedtime fear, reminds us too to hold loved ones near.
Concluding the message on safety's importance in sleep.
For though it's just a fun monster's plight, feeling safe brings the best goodnight.
Ending with a content night in Monster Town.
So let's tuck in, our fears to quell, in Monster Town, all is well.
