Monsterbat's Lair

The Ants

For Audio by Monsterbat, click *here*

There once was a strong ant, big and tall

when the girls came to see him, they would crash and fall

the big strong ant thought he had it all

the big ant thought it all.

-

There once was a small ant, brave and kind

if one word described him, he was divine

he made things right, his friend was all

the small ant had it all.

-

The small ant met the big ant,the big ant said this

” I don’t like you. You can’t make a fist.”

Then he tried to smack him with his wrist

The big ant tried this.

-

But the little ant dodged and it was a miss

and the big ant flew into the abyss

oh, my child, you’ll never see this

please don’t believe this

THE PHONE CONSCIENCE

the phone

sometimes

it makes you

moan

-

sometimes

it tells you

ridiculous things

-

this morning

it told me

to try

growing wings!

-

or to

rake

with a

wooden

stake

-

but since I already have wings

I think i’ll try old fashioned things

THE MERMAID
-

Water flowed deep within her veins.

She was beautiful for someone who

had experienced something so tragic.
-

Her tail quivered and

swished with the waves

of memories that haunted
-

her. The whales

took her inside and

gave her dinner.

MONSTERBAT

Alas, in our darkest hour

a glorious creature came.

Monsterbat,

no man nor rat

doth not know his name.

*

Monsterbat, with him around,

no bad thing came real near.

Monsterbat, if they did you’d

slowly kick their rear.

*

Monsterbat, slowly thought,

as he battled ring after ring,

that in this town, he would be

only but a thing.

WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION

I had loads of fun on my summer vacation to Dayton. We went to a mini-golf arcade place and shot some holes while Mom went to Writers’ Workshop. Dad and I also mined for gems at the Indian cavern. What a fun time I had!

Our family ate exotic vegan foods there! We went to Pattycake Bakery and got some vegan deserts. Mom, Dad, and I went to Mijiers and got vegan salt and vinegar potato chips. As it went down my throat it gave me a most pleasurable time.

We had fun, but then we had to go home. On the way home I played with the magnificent toys that my wonderful mother and my most precious father gave me. Then we went to the Indian cavern again and mined once more. Then we went home, and new adventures began with more fun then ever!

Shining silver,
glistening gold.
That was all
in the mines of old,
and for all of you
the story’s ’bout to be
told.

Millions of millions of
years ago,
when the earth was
covered in snow,
a million people took a pole

“Lets block the roads
where the wizards come.
All in favor
drink a bottle of rum.”
and everyone was drunk that night.

And that was the end
of a civilization.
Drinking and driving
for a new sensation.
The whole world
drank from a
bottle of ale.
We’ve reached the end
of our tale.
