Never keep a pet monster -
There once lived a girl, with simply nothing to do,
she only wished for a friend, just like me or you.
She had no brothers or sisters, or even a puppy,
and she wondered why the other kids at school, were all so very lucky.
They had hamsters and rabbits, so cute, furry and small,
but she would have what truly was the greatest pet of them all.
The girl's name was Jasmine, and she always felt alone,
She lived with her darling mother, although she was never home.
She always had work that would get in the way,
she never had time to come home and play.
And although her mother loved her more than she could ever know,
It was because of her work that her love would ever show.
And so she would sit alone each day, she would sit all by herself.
She would sit just quietly in her room, starring at her bedroom shelf.
the shelves were filled with books and stories of magical lands.
with funny looking creatures, who had blue shiny hands.
The creatures were yellow, with a bright orange head,
And had green colored flowers where it's hair should be instead.
These creatures were so naughty, playing tricks were their favorite game,
like drawing pictures on peoples faces, then giving someone else the blame.
But of course this was just a world, that lives inside of a book.
It was a special place hopes and dreams, where jellyfish can learn to cook.
A child could only imagine a wonderful world like this,
A place filled with magic, just like true love's first kiss.
And so Jasmine would just sit there, throughout the lonely day,
Not knowing that at night time, the monsters come out to play.
Soon Jasmine became tired, and it was time to rest her head,
But suddenly she heard a noise, from right under her bed.
She leapt out of her mattress, and landed on the floor,
and wondered what surprises were still now left in store.
She looked under the bed, into the dark and empty space,
and just then a smiles appeared upon her pretty face.
Boo! She shouted out, but there was no reply,
and so she turned her back, and then she shouted out Goodbye.
Wait, a voice whispered, from what was once an empty space.
and then this voice asked Jasmine, would you like to see my face?
Of course she said, but you must know, that I am not afraid,
unaware of the brilliant friendship that she had just made.
The monster crawled out from the darkness and stood up big and tall,
He looked down to the girl and said, wow, you're rather small.
I am only 8 years old, I am growing so you see,
and the monster turned and said, so you're not scared of me?
You like quite strange, but I'm not afraid, I'm braver than you think,
I am as courageous as a lion, but my still my favorite color's pink.
And you don't look like the creatures that i’ve read about in books. Where Jellyfish are often seen, as they’re actually brilliant cooks!
Your body's blue I can clearly see, and black & shiny is your head.
And you have purple colored caterpillars, where your hair should be instead.
You don't have green flowers with a bright orange head
and you're also not yellow; but you’re blue and black instead.
That's because the creature's you know are from the imagination,
I am as real as real could be, not just a writers creation.
So then Jasmine turned and said, we will be best friends forever,
and I shall call you Ned.
We will play in the cold, and we will play in the wet,
and we will have days in the sunshine that we never will forget.
But Jasmine didn't realize that with her new found friend,
once the mischief had started, it was never going to end.
Then Jasmine went into the kitchen to get Ned something to eat,
And with Jasmine gone the monster now, was in for quite a treat.
There were crayons on the table, and the walls were plain and white,
So when Jasmine came back from the kitchen, she was in for quite a fright!
Fred has used the crayons to draw all on the walls. He drew people with funny faces and swirls and colored balls.
What have you done, Jasmine shouted out loud. I don't think my Mother's going to be very proud.
You drew all on the walls, which were all nice and plain, don't you think my Mother will notice, that they are now not the same?
I added life and color, it looks better don't you think? Jasmine wondered if she was dreaming, and began to blink and blink.
I agree but can't you see that these walls can't stay the same. When my Mother comes home just later on, who do you think will get the blame?
Luckily for the monster, Jasmine knew the perfect thing to do. I will find the white paint from the drawer upstairs, and it will look just like brand new.
So Jasmine walked right back upstairs, to find some of the paint. The monster was near, but as she was small her footsteps were quite faint.
Just then the monster noticed, the whole new world outside. He said that he’d stay still, it seems that he lied.
Ned ran into the garden and dug a hole in the ground, and he wondered what magical place, he had suddenly just found.
Jasmine came down from upstairs, and she saw what Ned had done. She’d always wanted a pet monster; but she thought it’d be more fun.
I told you to stay still; and yet you’ve dug a massive hole. I thought I made it clear, you’ve gone out of control.
I was digging a massive hole you see, I was going to another place. Then suddenly a smile appeared, upon the monsters face.
You like adventure, I know that you do. You like adventure, and I can see that it’s true. Then I have the perfect place for you.
I know this shall put you, in a much better mood, but first I am hungry, have you got any food?
I had all the food, it was ready for us before. until you picked up the crayons, and then started to draw.
Then I shall go into the kitchen and get the food for me and you, as after all the trouble I’ve caused, its the least I can do.
After a short while, Ned finally brought out the plate, hoping Jasmine wouldn't mind, that he was so late.
She looked at the plate, and she said “what are these?” I didn't make, ham sandwiches and cheese.
I am sorry little girl but it's the best I can do, as when it comes to cooking, I just don't have a clue.
When I was in the kitchen, my tummy started to rumble, so I ate all the biscuits you’d made, and then then the apple crumble.
I ate the cakes up one by one, and I ate the ice cream too. I finished it up just piece by piece, and this was all that was left for you.
There was no more food inside your house, not even a just smidge. there was nothing left you see small girl, there was nothing in your fridge.
That’s ok, you didn’t lie, but instead the truth came out. I wasn’t that hungry anyway; now what’s this adventure you were talking about?
Follow me, and you will see, I’ll take you somewhere new. Jasmines adventure, had almost begun; and her excitement grew and grew.
The monster then took Jasmine upstairs, and right back to her bed. He then crawled straight in the darkness, trying not to hit his head.
Jasmine then follow, and crawled under the bed too. Her eyes were wide open, like they were fixed tight there with glue.
They both carried on into the darkness, Jasmine was in for quite some fun. Un-aware that from that point; her big adventure had now begun!
Especially for fictional creatures. I mean - Seuss came up with ALL kinds of craziness like zummers and spazzims and sneezles and sneetches and of course grinch! Which we use all the time now xD
Another thing to watch out for are those commas! Remember they should only be used to separate a dependent clause from an independent clause - or if you use conjunctions such as: and, but, for, yet, etc.
