A Monster in my House

There is a monster in my house
And boy he loves to eat!
The glass ornament balls on our tree
Seem to be his absolute favorite treat.

Each time we put them way up high
Just so they are out of his sight.
But that monster is so nimble and quick
That they still end up on the floor at night.

You would think that a 2 year old could pick
Something edible, or at least something not made of glass.
So tonight, I sigh as I pick up these balls
And remember that this too shall pass.
