Did you hear the latest \u2019bout Rodan? She cried, \u201cLook out there. I see Mothra!\u201d I blame Bowie for what happened to Gamera. Ghidrah the Three headed Beast King Kong left a great hairy mound, I can\u2019t get a date with Gojira! In the circus I had a great calling: There once was Giant Behemoth There once was a giant crustacean There was a young lady of Niger Godzilla was minding his young I think any decent young fellar It’s hard not to put the lot!

\nHe started to get a bit ranty.
\nWhat he said made me shiver —
\n\u201cI ate Rodan\u2019s liver,
\nWith beans, and a pleasant chianti.\u201d
\nMartin Livings<\/i><\/p>\n
\nSome people said she was surly.
\nBut that\u2019s not quite true:
\nThere\u2019s ship-sinking to do,
\nAnd she had to get up rather early.
\nJason Fischer<\/i><\/p>\n
\nMonsters great, ferocious and forlorn.
\nHe gazed into the abyss
\nAnd it gave him a kiss —
\nHe demolished Tokyo yesterday morn.
\nAlicia Smith<\/i><\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat nonsense, you moron,\u201d scoffed Megalon.
\n\u201cNo, he\u2019s right,\u201d said King Ghidorah,
\nplaying pool with Desghidorah,
\n\u201cThat\u2019s a crock!\u201d yelled their good friend, Mechani-Kong.
\nMartin Livings<\/i><\/p>\n
\nHe went down to the Monsterland Hoedown.
\nHe got drunk at a fountain
\nThat was spewin\u2019 Blue Mountain
\nAnd he smushed the Abominable Snowman.
\nMark Rainey<\/i><\/p>\n
\nFrom the bed he sighed, \u201cI can be bothred.
\nWith monsters gargantuan,
\nfrom King Ghidorah to Rodan,
\nthis city is perpetually smothred.\u201d
\nSean Williams<\/i><\/p>\n
\nMakeup? Glitter? A name change to \u201cGlamera\u201d?
\nI could handle the androgyny
\nAnd the glam kaiju progeny
\nBut I won\u2019t listen to \u201cMott the Ghidorah.\u201d
\nJess Nevins<\/i><\/p>\n
\nWas last seen flying out of the East.
\nWith his rampaging trill
\nMonster Zero could kill —
\nHe should have his own franchise at least.
\nT. Reed<\/i><\/p>\n
\nWhen he tumbled and fell to the ground.
\nIt took some good shootin\u2019
\nTo prove ala Newton
\nHe\u2019s aerodynamically sound.
\nJason Fischer<\/i><\/p>\n
\nHe\u2019s seeing a Goth grrl called Vera.
\nHer pop culture cred
\nMeans she\u2019s light years ahead
\nGuess I\u2019ll settle instead for Chimera.
\nKate Eltham<\/i><\/p>\n
\nCleaning up what from elephants kept falling.
\nNext time Godzilla walks by
\nYou will know who am I —
\nI\u2019m the guy with the broom, sitting, bawling.
\nLee Battersby<\/i><\/p>\n
\nSpoke kinda old-fashioned, it seemeth.
\nIt ran wild on the loose
\nAnd squashed a caboose
\nAnd the rivers with bloody gore teemeth.
\nLeigh Blackmore<\/i><\/p>\n
\nWho moaned in extreme frustration
\nSee Gojira and Kong
\nHave fan-clubs so strong
\nYet a mega-crab feels no such elation.
\nTony Owens<\/i><\/p>\n
\nWho smiled as she rode on a tiger;
\nThey returned from the ride
\nWith those two inside
\nthe insatiable belly of Jiger.
\nIan Mackereth<\/i><\/p>\n
\nWhen a skyscraper eclipsed the sun.
\nUrbanly it sprawled
\nT\u2019wards his nest towering tall —
\nThe buildings\u2019 revenge had begun!
\nNigel Stone<\/i><\/p>\n
\nwould see all the problems and tell her
\n— wedding giant crustaceans
\nis frought with frustrations
\n— you wouldn\u2019t undress her, you\u2019d shell her.
