Monsters

It's Fangs Were Red
Jack Prelutsky It's Fangs were red with bloody gore. It's eyes were red with menace. It battered down my bedroom door, and burst across my bedroom floor, and with a loud resounding roar said, " ANYONE FOR TENNIS"

Rockets
By Robert Hiedbreder Rockets flying out to space, Rockets flying every place, Rockets from Earth To Venus and Mars: To silver moons and shinning stars, Rockets to Galaxies far away, I think I'll build a rocket someday, I'll fuel it first. I'll fly away. I'll land in time for Christmas day. On Pluto, Neptune, Saturn or Mars, On a silver moon or a shinning star.

Space
By Robert Hiedbreder Space is............... Planets like Pluto, Jupiter and Mars, The Milky way and billions of stars, Rockets, space ships,UFOs, Mean Ugly creatures with 36 toes. Black holes moons and solar rays, Dark cold places without any days, Robots, space stations, laser guns, Different Galaxies with different suns. Space is a place I'd love to see If hungry monsters won't get me.

Creature, Creature, you don't scare me ! I have a mouth. I can talk. I have legs. I can walk. Creature, Creature, you don't scare me ! I have brains. I can think I have knees. I can shrink.

Don't Eat Spiders
By Robert Hiedbreder Daddy said to me, "Don 't eat spiders, Don 't you dare. They may be delicious, But I don't care. Don't eat spiders, Alive or dead, Don't eat spiders, That's what I said. Don't eat spiders, Even in play, Fried or mashed, Or in any way Don't eat spiders, That's what I say. Never, ever, That's what I say!" But I answered Daddy, "Tell me why ! Will I get sick ? Will I die ? I'll eat spiders, I don't care. I'll eat spiders On a dare". I ate a spider Off the ground. I swallowed a spider, It wriggled around. SUD-DEN-LY..... I grew eight legs, They're skinny and hairy. I shrank to a spider, Creepy and scary. I sit in a web, I eat dead flies, I watch the world With eight beady eyes. So don't eat spiders, I hope you see, Unless you want to be A spider like me. And don't eat spiders. Do you see? Cause if you eat spiders You might eat me

Lizzy's Lion
By Dennis Lee Lizzy had a Lion With a big bad roar, And she kept him in the bedroom By the closet - cupboard door; Lizzy's lion was n't friendly Lizzy's lion was n't tame - Not unless you learn to call him By his Secret Lion Name. One dark night, a rotten robber With a rotten robber mask, Snuck in through the bedroom window And he didn't even ask. And he brought a bag of candy That was sticky - ickey - sweet, Just to make friends with a lion (If a lion he should meet). First he sprinkled candy forwards, Then he sprinkled candy back; Then he picked up Lizzy's piggy - bank And stuck it in his sack. But as the rotten robber Was preparing to depart, Good old Lizzy's lion wakened With a snuffle and a start. And he muttered, ÂCandy?- piffle!' And he rumbled, ÂCandy?- pooh!' And he gave the rotten robber An experimental chew. Then the rotten robber shooed the lion, Using every name he knew; But each time he shoed, the lion Merely took another chew. It was: Down, Fido! Leave, Leo! Shoo, you good old boy!' But the lion went on munching With a look of simple joy. It was: stop, Mopsy! Scram, Samo! This is a disgrace!' But the lion went on lunching With a smile upon his face. Then old Lizzy heard the rumble, And old Lizzy heard the fight, And old Lizzy got her slippers And turned on the bedroom light. There was robber on the toy - shelf! There was robber on the rug! There was robber in the lion (Who was looking rather smug)! But old Lizzy was n't angry And old Lizzy was n't rough She simply said the Secret Name: Lion !- that's enough. Then old Lizzy and her lion Took toes & tum & head, And put them in the garbage, And they both went back to bed.

The Marrog
By R. C. Scriven My desk's at the back of the class and nobody, nobody knows I'm Marrog from Mars With a body of brass And seventeen fingers and toes Would n't they shriek if they knew I've three eyes at the back of my head And my hair is bright purple My nose is deep blue, My teeth are half yellow, half red. My five arms are silver and spiked With knives on them sharper than spears I could go back right now if I liked- And return in a million light years I could gobble them all For I'm seven foot tall And I'm breathing green flames from my ears. Would n't they yell if they knew, If they guessed that a Marrog was here? Ha-ha they have n't a clue- Or would n't they tremble with fear ! "Look, look a Marrog!" They'd all scream - and SMACK The blackboard would fall and the ceiling would crack And the teacher would faint, I suppose. But I grin to myself, sitting right at the back And nobody, nobody knows. .
