Kev
The first day at Monster School
And Kev is feeling scared,
To be prised away from loving arms
And hugs he's always shared.
​
Come in you furry load of fluff,
I'm your teacher Mrs Miggs
I'll be with you during your time at school
And teach you till you're big.
​
You'll all become great monsters
During your time at school,
You'll grow all hairy and really quite scary
And possibly ten feet tall.
​
This first year we'll be in Reception,
And you'll all learn to roar
Come on now Kev, keep up the practice
Don't moan that your throat is sore.
​
And now that you are all here in Year One
We need to pick up the pace,
I'll teach you how to creep up on people,
And pull a scary face.
​
Welcome back to school my monsters
And now you're in Year 2
I'll show you how to hide under beds
And scare people by shouting BOO!
​
Did you have a good summer dear Kev?
Right this way for year three
I'll teach you how to change your voice
And make it sound scary.
​
You're doing well, you're in Year 4
You're all becoming quite a sight.
This year we are hiding behind wardrobe doors
And creeping out during the night.
​
Hello my lovelies, we are in Year 5
This year's going to be tough
I'll teach you all the monster laws
and other boring stuff!
​
My goodness, I really can't quite believe that
Its already your final year
You've grown into such fine looking monsters
You even fill me with fear.
​
And now for your graduation monsters
And welcome Kev's mum and dad
You really can be proud of young Kev
He's one of the favourites I've ever had.
​
But after years of keeping quite
Kev finally made a tough choice
He tried to look all brave and calm
Though there was a slight quiver in his voice.
​
I've thought long and hard about your lessons
And everything you've said
But I'm not into scaring people
So here's what I propose instead
I want to fill the world with love
And lots of happy thoughts,
And wear pink flowers in my hair
And brightly coloured shorts
I'll dance and skip and swing and sway
And laugh so my belly jiggles
And be one of those that tickles toes
And runs away and giggles.
