The Little Monster, Part2
.....continued from The Little Monster, Part 1.
The monster sighed and shook his head
And in his booming voice he said,
“I may be big, I might look scary
Yes, I’m ugly, green and hairy
I know my fangs are rather long,
But can’t please we just get along?"
Toby laughed and did a dance,
“Forget it matey there’s no chance!
Making sure that you are dead
Can only help with my street cred”.
Again the monster shook his head
And once again he sadly said,
“I may be big, I might look scary
Yes, I’m ugly, green and hairy,
I know my fangs are rather long,
But can’t we please just get along?”
The monster gave a plaintive wail
As Toby struck his spiky tail.
By now the beast had had enough.
His tone grew mean, his voice grew gruff,
Yes I’m big and yes I’m scary,
Yes I’m ugly, green and hairy
I’ve tried to be your friend, he said
You should quit while your ahead.
But Toby didn’t heed the warning,
Believing he’d be rich by morning
He struck the creature once again
Laughing at his cries of pain.
The monster grinned and stroked his belly,
Toby’s knees both turned to jelly.
"The reason that I’m big and hairy
The thing that makes me rather scary,
The reason, as a point of fact,
Is ‘cos I gobble little brats."
Toby barely knew what hit him
The speed was such the monster bit him
But Toby thought while he was chewed
“Perhaps I should have been less rude”.
