Monster

The monster crept Into my house, quite late on Friday night

I wrestled and I struggled and I put up quite a fight

The onslaught was ferocious, when I thought I had him beat

He came back with such power that, he knocked me off my feet

We rolled around the floor for what appeared to be an age

Then looking in the monsters eyes, I saw his inner rage

I knew that he would never stop, but fight until the death

He smiled his sickly smile and hit me with his cocoa breath

His ferocity relentless, my body soon turned numb

Resistance now was futile, and I knew I’d soon succumb

This battle lost, I opened up a bar of chocolate bliss

The chocolate monster blessed me with a chocolaty kiss

So if you get a visit from a creature such as him

He isn’t such a monster don’t resist it, just give in.
