The Wunch

 

 

The Wunch is a monster of monstrous size

it has too many legs and has big black eyes.

It lives under the bulk of the Misty Hill

if you go to the forest you’ll find it still-

 

but what does a Wunch like to munch?

Perhaps it is little children for lunch?

 

The Wunch has a very long flat, freakish nose

which it wiffles and sniffles for feets and for toes-

for the smelliest children the Wunch likes the most

especially buttered, to be spread on toast.

 

So what does a Wunch like to munch?

The smelliest children, all in a bunch!

 

The Wunch’s flat nose is to pry and to peak,

it can crack open doors, or make windows creak-

but it’s also a way to get under the hill,

for it shoves its proboscis down under it, ‘til-

 

The Wunch levers up, and the hill splits, BOOM!

and it wriggles down under it, plenty of room-

and then the hill settles, never to stir,

with no horrible monster beneath it, no sir.

 

But what would a hungry Wunch like MOST to munch?

To gnaw on and chew on, to crack and to crunch-

to swallow, and chase it all down with lime punch?

It might well be you... but that’s only a hunch.
