MONSTERS COME FROM THE MOON.... CHILDREN'S BOOK BY PATRICIA MONTAQUILAMOWRY MONSTERS COME FROM THE MOON... FAR AWAY BEHIND THE CLOUDS AND SKY/ IS A PLACE WHERE MONSTERS LIVE AND HIDE/
THE PART OF THE MOON YOU CANNOT SEE/ THE SIDE NOT VISIBLE TO YOU OR ME/ MONSTERS ARE OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS MEAN/ WHEN IN TRUTH THEY ARE NICER THEN THEY SEEM/ LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUE STORY ABOUT HOW MONSTERS CAME TO BE/ YOU SEE, THEY WERE CALLED MOONSTARS ORIGINALLY/
EARTHLINGS GO TO THE MOON NOW AND THEN/ BUT NEVER SEEM TO SEE THEM IN THEIR MOONSTAR DEN/ THE MOONSTARS OFTEN LOOKED AT EARTH AND ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT/ IF THEY EVER HAD THEY CHANCE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MISS IT/ SOME SAY IT WAS IN 1969 THAT THE FIRST MOONSTAR TRIED/ HE SAW NEIL ARMSTRONG'S SHIP THEN CLIMBED INSIDE/ OTHERS SAY THEY SLID DOWN MOON BEAMS OR CAUGHT A SHOOTING STAR/
BUT NO EARTHLING REALLY KNOWS SO FAR/ WHAT WE NOW CALL MONSTERS AREN'T THAT SCARY/ IT WAS DR. FRANKINSTEIN THAT STARTED THAT STORY/
BUT MOONSTARS ARE AS SHY AS CAN BE/ THEY FEAR THE DIFFERENCES WE MAY SEE/ THEY HAVE FUR, BIG TEETH AND BIG BIG PAWS/ BUT IF YOU LOOK HARD YOU’LL SEE MUCH MORE/ IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THOSE BIG TEETH/ YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A SMILE JUST BENEATH/ THEY ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL WAVE, THEY PUT THEIR PAW UP NEAR THEIR HEAD/ WITH THEIR CLAWS FACING FORWARD THEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE "HI I'M NED!"/ YOU CAN DO THE MONSTER WAVE ITS REALLY EASY TO DO/ JUST PUT YOUR PAW ASIDE YOUR HEAD, SEE YOU CAN DO IT TOO/ MOONSTARS AREN'T ALL THAT DIFFERENT THEY'RE REALLY NOT/ AFTER ALL EVEN A MOONSTARS HAS A HEART/ SURE THEY GROWL AND HOWL AND ARE SLOPPY EATERS/ BUT EAT US NO!, THEY WANT TO MEET US/
MONSTERS ARE FAR MORE SCARED OF EARTHLINGS THEN WE ARE OF THEM/ ESPECIALLY THE BIG ONES THAT SEND YOU TO BED/
ITS CHILDREN THEY WANT TO GET TO KNOW/ BUT MOST KIDS DON'T WANT MONSTERS TO SHOW/
MAYBE NOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW MONSTERS CAME TO BE/ YOU'LL REALIZE MONSTERS, I MEAN MOONSTARS ARE INDEED QUITE FRIENDLY/ AND WHEN ITS TIME TO SLEEP AT NIGHT JUST REST YOUR LITTLE HEAD / DON'T WORRY BECAUSE THERE MAY BE A MONSTER, I MEAN MOONSTAR NESTLED UNDER YOUR BED/
