Analysis of My monster and me

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)



Your hairy face pairs so well
with my complete lack of grace
Play me that song,
I promise it won't take long
I'll sing with you, if that is
what you want me to do
Our legs entwined
make my nerves unwind
I'm not sure where I begin,
but I know where we end
Over the rainbow, is where we'll go.
