Rumble Stein's: The Midnight Baker's Warning

Rumple Stein has a terrifying 
midnight warning for children 
who look for a late- night snack.

Deep within the woods
where the old shadows grow,
Rumple Stein whispers a secret
you must know.
"Never sneak a cookie when
the midnight bell tolls,
For that is the hour when the
beast truly strolls."
His voice is like gravel, his 
eyes gleam with spite,
Warning little children of the
terrors in the night.
"The Cookie Monster waits in
the dark, cold and grim,
If you steal a treat, you will 
surely meet him."
A shadow will stretch out
across the kitchen floor,
As a blue furry claw softly 
pushes the door.
He won't want a wafer, a chip,
or a chew,
Instead, the fierce beast will 
come hunting for you!
Your bones will be crumbled
like a dry chocolate chip, 
As he catches your sleeve in
his terrible grip.
With a terrifying growl from his
bottomless cup,
The hungry blue gobbler will
swallow you up!
So lock up the cookie jar when the
clock strikes the hour,
Before you are trapped in the 
monster's grim power.
No crumbs will remain where
you stood on the floor,
And the kitchen will stay silent
forevermore.
