The Green Monster Beast
Everyone, and Everything was trembling of the Beast
He'd rip you up pull out your gourds and settle in for his Feast
For all the Winter Trails his Name avails
as the Traveler to meet Least
So with open eyes and in Great Peril I must Surmise,
I packed my Guns to Leave,
I went on Safari for my Prize,
to the Lands that hold the Green Monster, East
Upon first Sight Was filled with Fright
But was Astonished at what I did See
The Green Monster Beast
Fixed his great eyes on me
My first defense was to cry out!
for a Priest
it was then I realized
with great surprise
it hadn't any Teeth!
