Day 20: Poetry Day

today I wrote a little ditty
Which I hardly ever do
a certian Suess might think it a pitty
that he never wrote this one too
So enjoy dear followers, my brilliant pose
whilst I go paint my toes.

The Wonder Whomp- a Poem By Me

With each clip clop from the Wonder Whomp the children shook in fear
He had big sharp teeth, long flaming hair and only one GIANT ear
No one knew from where he came
or when he'd go away
but the children always ran so fast as he sullied down the lane
The Wonder Whomp- who's name was Hal- was hungry as could be
he hadn't had a child for lunch in two years, maybe three
He used to be respected among the Wonder Whomp clan
but time wore down his game
and each pang of hunger was reminder that he had gotten lame
he had to get a child today- he would hunt all night
to seek out that tasty morsel and gobble it up right
he creeped up on a small green house with toys in the front yard
a sound entered his one good ear of a child laughing hard
a little girl, and a puppy too, were playing on a slide
The Wonder Whomp snuck up behind them before they could dash inside
He carried them off to his dreary lair, the puppy howled in fright
The little girl, however, only murmured something about her tight
She had bright blond hair and deep blue eyes
Rivaling the darkest skies
The Wonder Whomp peered down at his little treat
She was so innocent, too innocent to eat
He ate her anyway, in one foul swoop
and kept the puppy for himself
one day the villiage hunted him down and now his bones make up a shelf
