To my darling monsters (babysitting experiences)

by Xandra   Jul 20, 2013


Three little monsters awoke from their slumber
Thoughts filled their minds of destruction and plunder

They planned out their day filled with pranks and fun
"Today we shall battle the commanding one"

"Lets get her pulse racing, kept on her toes
With bats and spiders, yes both of those"

"Lets place bugs in her food and watch her freak out
Lets fight and run and stomp and shout"

"Surely she cannot keep her composure
Not with we three here to oppose her"

The monsters all smiled as they pranked more and more
They laughed and danced like never before

"Now little monsters, "said the motherly one
"It isn't very nice to tease for fun"

"Feelings could get hurt and that's never good
So desist my darlings" It seemed they understood

They cleaned up the bats, the bugs, and the spiders
Then one by one, they plopped down beside her

"We made you something because we felt bad
Open it up, see what's to be had"

Their eyes were gleaming, their smiles seemed sincere
And so she opened it with absence of fear

Out popped the spiders, the bats, and the bugs
They climbers on her arms, spilling onto the rugs

"Never trust monsters," they all chimed soon after
Then sauntered away, roaring with laughter

    This poem I can say is adorable and pretty funny you did great here.

    I love how you describe the kids as monsters because they can be in so many ways. Messy and grumpy and have an attitude lol. Their minds are always on one thing at a time and thats to run around and escape :)). Today we battle the commanding one. That line was so very cute. I love how you describe your self as a leader and you really are as the babysitter! . I love how you put your fears in too that just means we are all human.

    I can see how you can get angry for sure. Three boys are hard to deal with because we were all little once. The imagery is great because I can see the boys running around and pranking and laughing:). Its awesome that they understood because boys dont usually listen haha. Its awesome the you used so much dialogue and then yourself as the narrator. That that really lovely. Overall I think its great... 5/5
