Our Dear Monster-By Susan Thomas

Playful and fun
singing and dancing
making children squeal in delight
teaching manners
singing the alphabet
with the other monsters
exciting children worldwide
making waiting fun
having friends now an adventure
vegetables now something to explore
children learn in musical style
never knowing their dear monster
is just another teacher
his googly eyes
wild blue fur
and a sweet tooth
make him oh so lovable
shoving a cookie
in his mouth
shouting om num num
is what the children wait for
as the children grow
they forget their dear monster
until the fateful day
when a little one
they call their own
finds the dear monster
with a sweet tooth
then parent and child
watch the dear teacher together
and wait for the monster
to find a cookie
and shout
om num num
