Quick,
hide
The monster is here
Green as a tree
with eyes the size of watermelons
and the color of the lemons
that the monster sometimes feasts on
“I don’t want to do my school work” growls the monster
The monster is lying
“I drew the pig perfectly”
Mom plays along
“I like how it’s fuzzy”
“Yes” comes the growled reply
“I’m good at it”
Of course no one is that good,
it is the stuffy the monster is supposed to draw
Mom revealed the secret
Better luck next time,
little brother
