Monsters under the bed...

They are always there, lurking & waiting to be fed...


Poem Artwork

My friend says he has for me a bed frame,
But he doesn’t understand that I don’t want it,
My mattress & box spring are right now on the floor,
If a frame is installed THEY will grow there,
Monsters under the bed will come,
Can’t turn out the light or close the bloody door,
I won’t live out the night; my story is true ; I am not being lame…

Such razor sharp teeth they possess,
And their howls do rip at the darkness,
Not even God can away these creatures bless,
They come up from the inner sanctum of hell,
In my sleep I do to my childhood regress,
I need the protection of the floor,
I am not sure I can get my friend to acquiesce…

So I guess I must have a weapon,
Not a knife, or scissors cause mom says they are dangerous,
Not a gun cause I cannot get one,
Maybe a baseball bat, yes, my Louisville Slugger,
The slugger will protect me, so bring on them monsters,
For them this will be their true Armageddon…

I have an 16thC bed with a small mirror built into the headboard. The idea was that evil spirits would see themselves and scare themselves away - Maybe hang a small mirror above your bed...?

The only thing under my bed are cobwebs. And those spiders are so small that they couldn't even bite my thick skin if they tried. On the other hand, those monsters you speak of probably are the results of your brain being conditioned to the bad trips you took so many times in happy drug land. Those spooks are unlikely to be driven away by new spooks.

If you've been watching that series on the TV, "Supernatural", their method of shielding of any evil source is to sprinkle some salt on the premises. Not sure if its true or not. LOL!!!
