我壁櫥里的怪物
《我壁櫥里的怪物！》（A Monster In My Closet!）是美國女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特小學徠時創作的一首詩歌，它在一次全美詩歌大賽（由Creative Communication舉辦）中獲得了一等獎。
小女孩泰勒·斯威夫特寫下了大部分孩子都害怕的東西：藏在壁櫥里的怪物。躺在床上時，她能看見黑暗中的那隻怪物，這讓她害怕得睡不著覺。所以她記錄下了她對那隻怪物的特殊情感。
A Monster In My Closet！
There's a monster in my closet and I don't know what to do!
Have you ever seen him?
Has he ever pounced on you?
I wonder what he looks like!
Is he purple with red eyes?
I wonder what he likes to eat.What about his size!!
Tonight I'm gonna catch him!
I'll set a real big trap!
Then I'll train him really well.
He'll answer when I clap!
When I looked up in that closet, there was nothing there but stuff.
I know that monster's in there!
I heard him huff and puff!
Could it be he wants to eat me?
Maybe I'm his favorite tray.
And if he comes to get me,I'll scream loudly, "Go away!!"
If he's nice, I'll name him "Happy."
If he's bad I'll name him "Grouch."
I suspect that he is leaving, but if not. . .I'll kick him out!
我壁櫥里的怪物！
我的壁櫥里有一隻怪物，我不知道該怎麼辦！
你有看見他嗎？
他有猛撲向你嗎？
我想知道他的模樣！
他是不是有著紫色毛皮和紅眼睛？
我想知道他喜歡吃什麼。
他有多大！！
今晚我要去抓住他！
我會設置一個超大的陷阱。
徠然後我會好好地訓練他。
他會在我拍手時作出反應！
當我看向那個壁櫥時，裡面除了我的東西外什麼都沒有。
我知道那隻怪物在裡面！
我聽到他在氣喘吁吁！
他想要吃掉我嗎？
也許我是他最喜歡的托盤。
如果他出來抓我，
我會大聲尖叫：“走開！！”
如果他挺友好，我會給他命名為“快樂”。
如果他很壞，我會給他命名為“牢騷”。
我懷疑他要離開，但如果沒有……我會把他踢出去！
