Ode to the Movie Mutant Monsters

So very many mutants,
oh how is one to choose?
Tarantula or Swamp Thing
or even Killer Shrews?
It's Alive's scary baby
really knew how to creep.
If the sea is your thing,
try Humanoids from the Deep.
Gamma People on the earth,
Mole People down below.
And in the air Ghidrah flew
despite Godzilla's blow.
So how to choose a mutant?
Remember to use care.
Don't feed the plant in Little Shop,
Shoo The Fly off your chair!

  3. A neat way to memorize mutant monster movies by putting them in rhyme!

  4. Toto, your poem saluting movie monsters was a fun, affectionate read! I was particularly tickled to see THE GAMMA PEOPLE mentioned, because my husband Vinnie and I watched and enjoyed that endearingly daft little epic this morning (hooray for TiVo!)! :-)
