The Weird

The monsters come
One by one
To shake and roar
Growl and clatter
And one by one
The children run
Voices soar
Teeth chatter

The monsters chase
One by one
To mend and make
Soothe and show
And one by one
The children run
Smiles break
Hearts grow

And one by one
The dark has won
All are safe within
What the weird have done
For daughter and son
Is taught the young to listen
