Captain Lollipop was a hero of sorts, <br />he refused to wear trousers, would always wear shorts. <br />Except for at bedtime, when P.J's he'd don, <br />for even he dare not argue with his Dad or his Mom. <br />One night as he laid 'neath his duvet so warm, <br />he spotted a monster, with only one arm. <br />It swayed near the wardrobe, then across the wall, <br />it started off short, then it grew so tall. <br />The monster grew larger, as big as a house, <br />then gave a squeak, sounded just like a mouse. <br />But brave Captain Lolli' no fear did he feel, <br />he leaped out of bed and yelled 'WHAT'S THE DEAL? ' <br />'You come in my bedroom, growing so tall, <br />waving your arm all over my wall. <br />well I'm not scared of you, with your squeak like mouse. <br />So be off with you now, get out of my house! ' <br />Then he jumped at the monster and wrestled it down, <br />he tousled and struggled it onto the ground. <br />He flicked on the light, to see the source of his anger, <br />and would you believe, it was his shirt on a hanger! ! <br /> <br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/captain-lollipop-and-the-monster/
