Page Title

I’ve searched the globe for unicorns,
For ghoulish beasts with hooves and horns,
    For dragons which have fiery breath
    But all of these had met their death.

​

I’ve climbed mountains, shinned up trees
For creatures rare or Japanese.
    The Pegasus -  a wingèd horse?
    I gave up hunting in remorse.

​

Huge monsters, demons, dinosaurs?
I’ve searched for them and many more.
    Fairies, witches, goblins, gnomes.
    I’ve searched abroad and nearer home.

​

Vampires?  I kept well away!
I don’t much like the games they play.
     I spied some fairies by a stream
     But saw them only in a dream.

​

I searched the woods, with some assistance,
And saw an ogre from a distance.
      Smelling me, he licked his lips,
      And thought of human flesh and chips.

​

Run?  You bet!  My legs ran fast,
And I felt frightened and aghast.
     Safe at last, I’ve changed my mind
     And left these things for you to find.
