The Sunday Muse #72
Getting my teeth stuck into the latest prompt.
Thank you, Carrie
I AM A MAN EATER
Fear not little girl
You are quite safe with me
I eat just men and boys, you see
So my menu's not got thee.
So do not speak too lowly
And make sure your hair's not short
Or I will get so hungry,
And will kill you just for sport.
For I am just a man eater
And I leave you girls alone
And not eat you piece by piece
And not chew bone by bone.
I may still look ferocious,
And show a tooth or two.
But if they're inside my muzzle.
They will not you bite or chew.
I may still look ferocious,
And show a tooth or two.
But if they're inside my muzzle.
They will not you bite or chew.
But if you punch me in the face
Instead of kissing me
I might forget just what I am.
And have you for my tea.

I love this Eddie. Fun and made me laugh and smile! A wonderful read!
ReplyDeleteAh Shame I added aother verse which you missed. Thank you Carrie.
DeleteLove your take on the prompt, Eddie. It made laugh. 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki, lol.
DeleteI laughed at the end but was fearful at the start. I wish I had your poetic talent, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks Val . . . . had a lot of fun with this one . . :)
DeleteLOL. Great take on the prompt & the phrase. Not sure if I trust the lion, though. :)
ReplyDeleteLol, don't blame you not trusting him, unless his name is Alsa. :)
DeleteLol! And beauty tames the savage beast, unless she's a bit beastly herself. Love the take on the "man-eater"
ReplyDeleteGood point, she may be beastly to him. Had not thought of that. :)
DeleteThis is very amusing, and would make a fun poem for kids....though real lions tend to eat animals, not humans. Unless they come across an especially vexatious lion-hunter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry, yes those dreadful lion hunters perhaps should be fed to hungry lions and tigers. 😊
DeleteThis was such a fun write, Eddie! Really enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara, had fun writing it . . :)
DeleteWell done Eddie. Enjoyed your take on this picture. You have a great talent for raising a smile when you write.
