T.H.E.Y. Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Far away in the land of peaks
Valleys none, nicked by the Greeks
Lives Tonda.

Hespa is his rotund wife
Known to terrorize with knife
The chickens.

Elga is their daughter fair
Sleeps all day without a care
And snores.

Yona must not be forgot
Blows his nose, so has no snot.
He's the son.

Now that you have met them all
Know that they are your downfall
In life.

What will T.H.E.Y. say if you sneeze,
Curl your hair or eat blue cheese?
'No, no, no.'

Write a poem, live in Spain
Pick wet poppies in the rain?
'That won't do.'

Now that you know who T.H.E.Y. are
Just say 'no' to grabbing stars
T.H.E.Y. won't like it.
