Monsters and Gremlins


I have monsters or gremlins sleeping over in my room almost every night.  The monsters generally live in when they sleep over.  They scatter things, pull out books from the basket and leave them everywhere.  They leave their sneeze sprinkles on the pillows.  Sometimes, they take off wearing our shirts.

The gremlins are sweet-looking little things but they have the most deadly farts!  They are like snakes slithering and crossing over each other until they are one big knot in the middle of the night.  One sits up in the dark (the genuine gremlin) and sees her grandfather sleeping with gloves.  She pulls one finger at a time while chanting "funny, hands", wears the gloves while saying the same two words as she fades in the dark again.








As we all know, monsters and gremlin are sweet while asleep.

Oh Frogs!

Oh Frogs!
You who squat on my lotus pads
have the gall to disarrange my beautiful snowflake leaves!

You who hide behind my paintings
Why don't you just meld with my stargazers
instead of jumping on Rose?

I believe you are the king of surprises
and a happy little fellow
Don't get me wrong, I adore your song

But today, you did something unpleasant
Warts warts warts oh the curse
why can you not just hide or squat or surprise fragile Rose?

Why pee? why squirt? why shoot?
This unbelievable liquid full of virus
Is making me terribly paranoid!

there's a wart on my finger
and there could also be on my toes!
