WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by j.byrd
Write a horror story in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.
Cranky Little Hanky
Sitting on a stump
moping on his rump
Cranky Little Hanky
Is in another slump
Feeling down and blue
belly full of few
Cranky Little Hanky
Is ready for his stew
Every summer start
Dizzies play their part
Cranky Little Hanky
Is ready for new heart
Off the path did stray
Fresh meat of the day
Cranky Little Hanky
Is ready now to play
Neither here nor there
Dizzy's friends could care
Cranky Little Hanky
Will plan his next affair
Lost with none to find
Dizzy left behind
Cranky Little Hanky
Will show that he is kind
"Help me!" it did say
"Lost am I today."
Cranky Little Hanky
Will help it find its way
Hood pulled down so low
Hanky's face no show
Cranky Little Hanky
Will hide his grotesque glow
"Follow me." he said
"Find you will your bed."
Cranky Little Hank
Now surely will be fed
Strike upon his head
Dizzy's face dripped red
Cranky little hanky
Unleashed his evil dread
Hanky stood and watched
Dizzy spin and spin
Cranky little hanky
Now sunk his teeth in skin
Slashing through and through
Body parts askew
Cranky little hanky
Now sat down for his stew
