The Slov-vy monster love poem
O how I love thee
my dearest ‘monster slov-vy.’
I love to run my paw-ry hands
all over your delicate two ton body.
For you are the most beautiful monster
I have ever seen.
As you lie in my arms
the light glistens upon your delicate tentacles 'green.'
And as your saliva dribbles
from your delicate sweet mouth,
I just need to spray, "how I love thee"
and let it all pour out.
And did I ever tell you how I love
the little wrinkles in your face
as you tenderly devour the
little children
at such a rapid monster pace.
And O! I've always loved the way you
do that thing with the left over bones.
O my dearest monster slov-vy!
won’t you marry me and make us a home?
And you and I could make more monsters.
One! Two! may be even more,
who will lie all day like us
upon the sea shore.
And so let’s not worry anymore
about the 'bad hunting men.’
Let us pretend it’s just you and me
in our 'monster lovers haven.'
