Monsters' Ball

Were any of you invited?

The Monsters are having a shindig

They’ve rented the Teamster’s Hall

They’re putting on their finest furs

For the annual Boogeyman’s Ball

 

You may remember last year’s;

It made the evening news

The Monsters ate Chad Peters

Who did the interviews

 

He was the perfect finger food,

Press corps flesh and bone

And being civilized Monsters

They returned his microphone

I laughed through every line; what creativity you have! Your intelligence and sense of humor are amazing and catchy..... Not to mention your rhythmic prowess. Nicely crafted!

This kind of thinking used to categorize me as strange... :) So glad this gave you a laugh! Thanks, Reflection!

I read the poem, had fun with it, but when I scrolled down to write this and saw the author's note I cracked up. Funny Rita, very funny. You do know how to make me laugh. I think it's that quirky attitude. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep - I think you're right! Thanks, Jack - always so glad to give a laugh!

I missed my invitation. I would surely have eaten the microphone too.......lol Words make such a delightful dessert!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Maybe that's why you weren't invited, Sheila... not a civilized enough monster! ;) Thanks!

[Angel]

Okay...I won't ask. (I'm not sure I wanna know...)
But...is it okay if I chuckle? Giggle a little?
Because this is a fabulously funny piece, Sweetie!
And I love it!
(Okay...can I ask now?)

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! You know me and my weird mind... :) Glad this made you chuckle! Thanks, Angel!
