Drucifer

 

Like many children, Drew was picky about his food.

At dinnertime often he was very rude.

On his plate his mom placed some lovely brussel sprouts,

But instead of a "thank you!", she received kicks and shouts.

One day as young Drew was parting for school,

He found on his doorstep something smallish and blue.

It was a toy much to Drew's delight!

Even though it looked odd and limited in sight,

For it had only one eye and a huge underbite.

Drew adopted this creature made of felt and string,

but he had no idea what bad luck it would bring.

Later that night as he sat down to eat,

His mother placed creamed spinach on the plate with his meat.

Drew was indignant. He never ate green.

Not any light or dark green shade of cuisine.

His mother tried pleading, "you should eat what you've got.

While some kids have plenty, many do not!".

But Drew was unmoved and continued to sulk,

While the little blue monster was beginning to skulk.

He swooped in and with one fatal bite,

Consumed Drew's whole dinner and disappeared from sight.

And so this continued at every meal

The little blue monster would sneak in and steal

Every bite on Drew's plate until nothing remains

But poor little Drew and his big hunger pains.

Soon there would be nothing left of our Drew

But a small skeleton wearing one tennis shoe.

So when your mother serves vegetables give them a try.

Or you may meet a blue monster With only one eye.

 

(and a BIG appetite.)
