Alien
I came across an alien When I was walking along. Its legs were very short, And its tail very long. I thought no one should see, So I hid it in my purse. It stayed there very quietly Until frightened by a nurse.

Monster
On my way to school, I saw a monster. It was a mango-eating monster. It was a messy, mango-eating monster. It was a maroon, messy, mango-eating monster. It was a menacing, maroon, messy, mango-eating monster. It was a mean, menacing, maroon, messy, mango-eating monster. It was a massive, mean, menacing, maroon, malevolent, messy, mango-eating monster. And it sprayed me from head to toe with mango juice!

Bright Red Rat
I came across a bright red rat, On the way to school It was doing some backstroke, In my neighbor's swimming pool! I acted very quickly, and I hid him in a box. But they found him in the end, and they were scared out of their socks!

April Fool Squid
I found a giant squid In my backyard swimming pool. I wondered if it was a trick, After all, it's April Fool. He swam up very slowly, And said hello to me. I thought that he was quite polite, So I invited him to tea!

He couldn't fit through the door, so we had a barbeque. He really liked the chicken, and especially the stew. I went to sleep that night, Thinking my day was really weird. But the next day when I checked, My friend Squid had disappeared!

A France Dancer
There once was a young man from France Who simply LOVED to dance! In fact, this bloke When he awoke, He blurts out: "How's my stance?"

Hideous Creature
I saw a hideous creature, It was horrible to look at. It's face was covered in warts, And it's body was immensly fat! It was so fat that it didn't fit In the mirror one little bit. Hang on, what?! A mirror?! That can't be me, can it?
