One of my favorite poems is called '' I Eat Kids Yum Yum!'' by Jack Prelutsky.
A child went out one day.
She only went to play.
A mighty monster came along
and sang:
'' I EAT KIDS YUM YUM!
I STUFF THEM DOWN MY TUM.
I ONLY LEAVE THE TEETH AND CLOTHES. ( I SPECIALLY LIKE TOES.)''
The child was not amused.
She stood there and refused.
Then with a skip and twirl she
sang the song of the hungry girl:
''I EAT MONSTERS BURP!
THEY MAKE ME SQUEAL AND SLURP.
IT'S TIME TO CHOMP AND TAKE A CHEW AND WHAT
I'LL CHEW IS YOU!''
The monster ran like that!
It didn't stop to chat.
( The child went skipping home
again and ate her brothers
model train)
I like this poem because I thouht it was funny that the girl wasn't scared of the monster but the monster was scared of her! I also like the songs that the monster and the girl sang to each other about eating one another!
