Scary Monster by Katherine Lynas

You're not a scary monster.
Your fur is soft and shiny,
And your claws are really tiny.

I am.

You're not a scary monster.
Your eyes are round and pretty,
You remind me of a kitty.

I am.

You're not a scary monster.
Your smile is bright and gleaming,
You will never see me screaming.

I am!

You're not a scary monster.
Your teeth are white...
And pointy...

Gobble.

I am.
