Monster Protection
By Dawn M. Hamsher
There’s a monster in my room,
But he won’t be my doom.
I imagine him 6’ 9”
With quite a dark hairy spine.
And evil eyes with green glow.
A flicking tail that hangs low.
Huge nostrils blow foul steam.
Breathe like hot onioned sardines.
He hunkers and creeps in the dark.
He waits for my sleep to embark
On his quest to devour my soul.
But I have a plan to unroll.
I’ve hidden it under my cover.
Waiting for him to discover.
It’s something that’s sure to appease
A plate of bologna and cheese.
Quite humorous, Dawn. I liked "Huge nostrils blow foul steam.
ReplyDeleteBreathe like hot onioned sardines." ewwwwww!!!!!

Ha, what monster could stand up to such a formidable weapon? I'm not so scared of the dark now that I know the secrets of monster slaying!
ReplyDeletePam -- Thanks! Yeah, I thought those might evoke a very distinct image in a reader's mind!
ReplyDeleteDiego -- I know!!! The secret is now out and all children can fight their own monsters. ;0)

ReplyDeleteWhen you were a kid did you ever lay really still and hope that the bad guy/monster would already think that you are dead?
No?
Oh. Me neither.
Funny poem!
