Oh, No, You Don’t

A MonSter waits outside the door

With mayhem he has wrought before.

But he’ll be schooled;

I’ll not be fooled.

He’ll be my prisoner of war.

 It won’t be pretty. That I know.

But I am prepped for toe-to-toe.

So bring it on.

My sword is drawn.

I’ll send you back beneath, below.

 

 Flash fire at me, if you dare.

I’ll not be caught twice unaware.

No wilting wimp,

Though limbs go limp,

I know you’re not my worst nightmare.
