Does Mason McVey Live Here?

On Monday, mommy went
To Mason’s room to wake him up.
Everything seemed normal…
His toothbrush in its cup.

She pulled back the covers,
And found in the bed.
Not her sweet little boy
But a dinosaur instead!

He gnashed his big jaws!
He roared a big roar!
His mother shrieked a shriek
And ran out the door!

But what was so funny
About the dinosaur that day
He seemed to like pancakes
Just like Mason McVey.

Early on Tuesday
Mom went to the bedroom to see
Her son in his bed.
But wait, where could he be?

Perched on the bookshelf
And rushing about
Was a brave fireman
Putting a big fire out!

But what was so funny
About the fireman that day?
He wore polka dot socks
Just like Mason McVey.

The next day was Wednesday.
Mom was just waking up,
When into her room
Came a loud barking pup!

He yipped and he yapped
He wanted to play.
He wagged his tiny tail
Up and down the hallway.

But what was so funny
About the puppy that day?
He wiggled his eyebrows
Just like Mason McVey.

Early on Thursday
Mom heard a loud sound
From the room down the hall
Just a few doors down.

The countdown was on
3-2-1…very soon…
In her house was an astronaut
Headed straight to the moon!

But what was so funny
About the astronaut that day?
He carried a stuffed frog
Just like Mason McVey.

On Friday, mommy looked
But no one was there!
But when she looked closer
She found two eyes with a stare.

Behind Mason’s bed...
He’d strayed from his pack
Was a big, scary lion
Who was ready to attack!

But what was so funny
About the lion that day?
He smelled like berry bubble bath
Just like Mason McVey.

On Saturday, mommy wondered
Just who she might meet
A dentist, a penguin,
A whole naval fleet!

So she opened the door.
She was quiet and meek.
She hoped very much
That the floor wouldn’t creak.

She tiptoed to the bed
And she pulled back the sheets
When she heard a voice from inside...
It sounded so sweet…

It said "hi mom!" and she jumped
Three feet in the air,
Then she gathered herself
And she smoothed down her hair.

"Who are you?!" she said,
Sounding completely surprised.
Then the boy in the bed
Opened wide his big eyes.

"It’s me mom, it’s Mason,
The boy you love most!
And what did you think,
Did you see a ghost?"

Well, "no," mommy said…
Not a ghost, not just yet,
But I wouldn’t rule it out
No, that’s not a good bet..."

But when she hugged Mason tight,
As tight as she could do...
She could swear that she heard
Him say softly “boo!”
