Have you Ever Wondered

Have you Ever Wondered 

by Amelia Ott and Audrey Arnold

Have you ever wondered,

As you lay in bed at night,

If a monster was waiting

To give you a fright?

Have you ever wondered,

what might lie underneath,

How big, how scary,

Or how many teeth?

Have you ever wondered

What it eats for lunch?

Have you ever wondered

If it would grab you to munch?

Have you ever wondered 

What chaos a monster might bring?

Despair? Destruction? 

Or something not so mean?

Could a monster be friendly?

Unlike in many books?

Or can a monster only

Be judged by it's looks?

Have you ever wondered 

If appearances mislead?

For what you find in the heart

Is all you really need.
