Beware the Bugbear
I've heard a very nasty tale
I'm told it's likely true
that if you are a naughty child
The Bugbear might eat you!
The Bugbear- what is that? you say
it sounds harmless enough...
But names can be deceiving and
they say this goblin's tough.
He's been around for years and years
this ghastly, gruesome beast
with saw-like claws and wicked teeth
all ready for a feast.
He lies in wait to hear a lie
or see an evil deed-
he loves to catch them in an act
of malice, pride or greed.
He never bothers with the good
the sweet or well-behaved
he loves the taste of naughtiness
I tell you, he's depraved!
They say this awful creep is just
a-lurking 'round the bend
and if you're bad- he'll find you out
and get you in the end...
