I am starting out Halloween month with a kid’s poem. Halloween fun!
THE MONSTER IN THE LAKE
Charles Suddeth
He sticks his head right out of the water;
With big, red eyes, he peeks at me,
His neck is long and his tail is spiny,
He’s green and scaly and huge and ugly.
I run and give Momma the terrible news,
She doesn’t listen, she doesn’t believe.
I hurry to Papa and tell what I saw,
He laughs and snickers and chuckles and snorts.
Back at the lake the monster winks,
He thinks it’s funny, he thinks it’s a joke,
But I’m not smiling and I’m not happy,
I’ll show that monster a thing or two.
I grab my camera, pop off the cap,
He shakes his head, he splashes me,
Flips his tail, dives under the waves, And never says goodbye
