A Monster In My Shoe Poem by Anandita Bhalerao

One day I told my parents.
“There’s something I have to tell you,
Though you won’t believe me,
There’s a monster in my shoe!

“He’s as small as an ant,
His brain’s the opposite,
He’s an angry little beast,
With wickedness and wit.

“He’s from a committee,
(The Shoe Monster Federation) ,
Their main goal,
Is to ruin people’s vacations!

“Right now it’s May
And my vacations are going on,
But all my excitement,
Is completely gone.

“He says he’ll call his friends,
And make it even worse,
When I helped an old lady,
He gave me a curse!

“Whenever I’m playing,
He itches me all the time,
Once, because of him,
I stepped into slime!

“His body is red,
The colour of danger,
He controls my foot,
And makes me bump into strangers!

“He enters only one pair,
Those ugly brown sandals,
I really should get rid of them.
They're the cause of my scandals!

“He really is a nuisance,
He bites me every day,
And– What did you say? You’re buying me new shoes?
Well...I have nothing more to say! !
