Hairy and Scary

 

Hairy and Scary

Once there was a beast

He invited everyone in the village to a feast

 

What was on the menu, they did not know,

but to the feast they did go

For the food was free

Making their wallets jump with glee

 

To feed the people, was not what the beast did intend,

yet invitations he did send

And so, the guests arrived in droves

The beast ordered his servants to preheat his stoves

From far away the cacophony could be heard,

of this approaching human herd

 

They made their way into the beast’s hall,

lit by magnificent candlelight

Their faces glowing with pure delight,

at this wondrous sight

The beast made sure to greet and count them all

 

Then they saw the table were empty,

 

not a scrap of food in sight.

 

With a big crash,

The Beast swung closed the door!

Stomping his great big feet on the floor

And with a flash,

he threw off his cloak,

revealing his monstrous form

 

The Beast’s eyes glowed like coals,

ready to feast on human souls

The Beast was hairy.

The Beast was scary.

 

He let out a guttural growl,

that slowly turned into a howl

 

They were terrified,

but no one could save them now

The Beast was hungry
