The Horror!

Amongst the dark
And shadowed trees
In a dank
And dangerous wood
Dwelled an entity
Within a deep, deep pool
Occasionally
When hungry
It would clamber out
Slime dripping of it
Bulging eyes
And rotten teeth
Searching for food
It didn't care
And was never subdued
In what it ate
As long as its victim/prey
Bled
The bones
The only remains
Lay scattered around the pool
Seemingly in contempt
Mostly animals
Birds, foxes, deer
And the occasional human
That had wandered near
Today
I met this beast
And wondered if
On me it would feast
I quickly
As quick as a rabbit on honeymoon
Thrust a picture
Of a ghastly apparition
Into its face
It stared aghast
And quickly dived back into the pool
I couldn't comprehend the fuss
As it was only a picture
Of Liz Truss
The Horror!
The Horror!
Fin!
