Grrr

beware of three-eyed monsters in the night the ones that linger out of sight they’re hairy beasts that grunt and lurk and try to drive you quite berserk they hide way up inside your ceiling while you dream go on a midnight fling their beady eyes will glare at you with pointy teeth they’ll chomp and chew they wait behind your closet door then sneak across your bedroom floor just when you think you’re safe and sound is when they’ll take you for a pound there’s only one undisputed way to keep these monsters far at bay and that’s to wash your face each day not forget to brush your teeth and pray do these things before you head in your pyjamas straight for bed AP: 2nd place 2021 Submitted on February 25, 2020 for contest WARNING sponsored by RICHARD LAMOUREUX - RANKED 1ST

I take it these are not the cute, fuzzy, cuddly ogres from Monsters Inc? They sound very useful though in promoting good hygiene... congrats on your #1, Line, well deserved ~ John

I saw a Sasquatch on a trip to Salt Fork Lake State Park when I was very young...at least that is what my father told me it was...you described him well, thanks for jarring a memory. Vjckie
