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.
