Grizzle

Grizzle.

STOP! 
Who goes there?
Who dares to come this way?

Mt name is Billy Watkins and
I've just come by to play.

PLAY, PLAY! Is that what you say?
I didn't invite you, did I?
Go away is what I say.
And Billy Watkins began to cry.

Stop, stop that sniffling and just 
be on your way.
Don't dare to come near my front door
it's not a place to play.
I like the peace and quiet.
I do not care for noise.
More importantly you need to know
I don't like little boys.
So away with you Billy Watkins
go back from where you came.
Go tell your dad what I said,
by the way, GRIZZLE is my name.

Grizzle! Ha! He's a mean one. I wonder if it's just little boys he doesn't like.

Oh I think you've hit the nail on the head Samuel. It's got to be boys because it is written somewhere when asked what are little boys made of. "Snake's and snails and puppy dog tails that's what little boys are made of so yeah Grizzle tasty treat. Little girls are too sweet. do you agree? haa aah. x
