Disgusting Ugly Wallygompers
Their bulging cheeks were full of hog.
Bumpy scaly foreheads were oozing with green leeches
Moving steadily away, I hoped they had not spotted me.
I had heard of these hideous beasts, but no one had warned me
They each had only one eye. One oozing dripping ugly red eye.
I turned to go, tiptoeing quietly, but one caught my leg in his mouth.
Ten years later, I can still hear the rip of my tendon.
I still have a bit of a limp, maybe because he split my leg in half.
Spitting the rest of me into the marsh.
The rest laughed which somehow made it worse.Ugly Wallergompers!
