Late Night Snack Poem by Maddy Jones

Cozy in bed,
Late at night,
Hearing a noise,
He crept in fright,

He bumped into him,
A thief stood there,
Stealing some things,
And thinking it fair,

'Pardon, dear chap,
You steal what I own,
Do you mind leaving?
For this is my home, '

'Sorry, good man,
I'm not yet done,
I need these things,
For I have none, '

The man who sized up,
This moonlit marked fool,
Wore a devious smile,
With a dripping of drool,

'You should be warned,
You leave my house be,
For I am a cannibal,
My snacks are tasty, '

The thief kept on,
But leapt in pain,
And soon was gone,
But tasted plain,

So do not steal,
For you never know,
Who wants a meal,
And wants you (to-go) .
