Monsters by Aeryn

It was late at night when I did see

A pair of eyes staring up at me.

I was so scared I started to scream

But the monster jumped out with a team.

They picked me up and carried me away

And I knew I wouldn’t live for another day.

The sun was rising in the east

When I finally woke and saw the beasts

They were big, and round, and very fluffy.

So they sort of reminded me of a puppy.

One by one they introduced themselves

It turns out there were twelve.

Bob, and Joe, and Steve are three

But nine more there must be.

There’s clink, and clank, and their father Hank

Each one is as big as a tank.

Nelly and Kelly are the girls on the squad

They’re very good friends with their brother Tod

Fred, Ed, and Jim were last

These giant creatures were called Carlitrasts.

Each one had brown mangled hair

That didn’t have very much care.

Their eyes were large and very curious

Not at all scary or dangerous.

They all have very large round paws

And floppy ears, but no claws.

I pleaded with them to let me go

Ed said negator, because there’s something I should know.

He said you are not safe back there

So that’s why we will keep you in our care.

You will sta here till the end of time

Eating cheese and home grown limes.

The group then left me in the cave

Wondering if I would be saved.

I looked around and could not see

Anything that could help me.

All I saw was deep dark lack

Light was something this cave did lack.

All of a sudden something shown from above.

I looked up and saw a dove.

It turned out it was just a dream,

I thought and thought “what could this mean”?

That dove was hanging from my fan

The Carlitrasts were on my tiny van.

The cave was the darkness in m y room

So much for the monsters taking me to my tomb.
