Rise of the Minkzles by Michael Gettings

Wrote this one the other night... Eh. Follows a very Suessian rhyme scheme, so bear with it, as the subject matter is Suessian itself.


The Rise of the Minkzles


It was the Second of May in Twenty o' Three,
And the children were playing, so happy with glee,
And the gimwats and frozangs that made them all smile,
Were powered by Minkzles and had been for a while.

The Minkzles were flangered in tiny small cages,
And inside the Minkzles grew tiny small rages.

Timmy and Tammy were curious tots,
And wondered just what made their Ginyer-bot-bot,
So they took off the floodle and to their surprise,
Was a tiny little Minkzle, with love in it's eyes!

Timmy sighed and Tammy smiled,
They had been waiting for this a whole long while!
A pet for them to love and cherish,
Surely this Minkzle would never perish,

They cracked the cage with arms wipe open,
And took up the Minkzle, for they were hopin'
That the Minkzle would love them, and surely it would,
Because the Minkzle looked happy, and it probably could
Learn to love them as dear old friends,
Love them until the very end...

But Timmy and Tammy didn't realize,
That the Minkzle knew not love, his friendly face but a guise,
With his sharp Minkzle claws that were free in the air,
The Minkzle fwapped them into Tammy's hair.

She screamed so loud that the windows did bust,
And in blew glass-shards with a mighty big gust,
And Timmy stood rooted, and try as he might,
He just couldn't move, his muscles bound tight.

Tammy grinked to the ground, like a sack of bricks,
The thudding sound, might this do the trick
To get Timmy moving? It surely was not...
And soon he was dead too, next to the Ginyer-bot-bot.

The Minkzle dinged up the stairs, to the toyroom he ran.
To the back with the toychests! This Minkzle had a plan,
To free ever Minkzle that powered the toys,
and then, they too, could grinkle the girls and boys!

And this, boys and girls, is how it came to pass,
That in Twenty o' Four, not a lad nor a lass,
Stood breathing at home, for they were all dead!
Moms and dads were gone too, their gramblers stained red,
And not a person was left (lest they be a binkle!)
So started the reign, the reign of the Minkzle.

Woah...I was gonna say it sounded like Dr. Suess until like, you know, the 5th paragraph.

Ugh...for doing this in my forum, I think your ban might get a little longer, if just because there are very explicitly stated rules about bumping here that aren't present so obviously elsewhere.
