The Monster Park

[adalger]

Step lightly, little one. Walk with care,
For you never know what is lurking there
Between the border of day and dark
In the horrible, terrible Monster Park.

Hideous, ugly beasts at play
Sleep in the night and hide in the day,
But after the light and before full dark,
The monsters play in the Monster Park.

Sometimes you can hear them growl,
Hear them scream and hear them howl,
When day is done and it's not yet dark.
Best stay away from the Monster Park!

For if you happen to stray inside,
You'll find them playing and riding rides,
And from sunset until the fall of dark,
You'll be pushing the swings at the Monster Park.

i know it's not the intent, since you said it was a rant... but i seriously could see some type of children's book drawings to go with this one...

Huh?

This one isn't a rant. This is pure Shel-inspired fun.

ah, gotat get used to the new system here.... i saw rant asw an option up top on the side. i see now the pietry tag is on the bottom.

anyways, what i said holds true... i seriously could see this as a children's story with pictures.

If you know anyone who wants to draw the pictures, I'd keep 'em in mind. :)

This is my favorite poem to date.. It is so catchy I want to read it over and over.. I think this is one that you could definately have in a childrens book of poems.. Thanks for sharing..
