Need help with Douglas Florian Poem "My Monster"

[loobylou]

Does anyone know the words to the Douglas Florian Poem "My monster" ???
I know the last line is something like "that's not a monster, that's my teacher"
I have googled it and found out the poem is in a book called "Bing Bang Boing" by Douglas Florian
I want it for a friend's son to read for an English Board exam.
I wonder if any teacher Shack members may have a copy??? Heather? Kerry? anyone else, I'd really appreciate it
Thanks
Sarah

My library has it but I can't get it today 'cause it's a holiday. Hopefully, I can pick it up tomorrow & I'll send you the poem.

Thanks so much Suzi. That would be awesome
If you could email me the words I can get him practicing in the school holidays.

Hey there Suzi, did you get to the Library yet? No pressure, I will try another of my libraries next week too. My school library didn't have it.
If anyone else has this poem or knows it, that would be great

It's still showing "in transit". I'm leaving early Sunday morning so hopefully, it'll get there today or tomorrow. I also "ordered" those Janet Evanovich books. #3 is ready but the other 2 are in transit. Yikes, I can't read them out of order, can I???

[loobylou]

Thanks Suzi. I haven't read those books, but i think reading in order would be best!!! I am reading Nora Roberts at the moment- when I can step away from the computer!!

Sarah,

I just called my DH(he works at the library). The don't have a copy at his branch, but they do have one a the branch about 15 miles away. I can 't get there today (they close at 5 on fridays) but I will take a run down there tomorrow and copy the poem for you if you haven't got it by then. Will this work ok?

[loobylou]

that would be wonderful, if it is not too much trouble. Are you sure that's OK? I love how friendly and helpful you guys are. Thanks. I will PM you if i get it before then
Thanks
Sarah

Sarah, the book is in. I'm going in tomorrow morning (or maybe tonite if I get any energy: too long at the pool zapped anything I had) and I'll PM or email you the info. :)

[suzi_f]

I'm PMing you too but here it is:

I saw a monster
Ghastly and green
I saw a monster
Nasty and mean
I saw a monster
A horrible creature
That's no monster--
That's my teacher!

and what a funny poem
