A Look In His Eye Says Old School

The Look of a Giant Monster Who Eats Children and Puppies Gnashing and slashing he crashes into my world Taking over my soul, or trying to. His sharp claws are scary to others I have seen giant monsters before, and I will again. I have tamed two, I am not bragging. It is merely fact. His spikes are deeply purple, tinged with red, He has a look about his eyes that says "Old school". I can see why most of the neighbors have driven away Fearful for their children, and their elderly parents This monster has the look of a giant monster who has eaten Buckets of children, and washed them down with A large drink of blended puppies and bunnies. I look at his bigness, and his close set eyes, And I wonder. Have I seen any monster similar? No, but he does bear a close resemblance to the Ancient Stegosaurus who only ate plants. I put out two meals. Beef and Pork on one plate. Plants on the other. He dives into the plant plate, snorting and flailing. He cannot get enough of the plants. I lead him to my husband's soybean field Where he makes short work of the soybeans. I will explain to my husband later what happened. He will not believe me, for I do lie. But this is the truth as I see it, and if you do not believe Look at the neighbor's corn field. It is disappearing rapidly.

There is not much worse than a monster stegosaurus who just comes in and devours your crops. There's a point where he simply overstays his welcome.

And let's not forget the feelings of the empty fields left sad and lonely in his wake, right?
