The Seahorse from Outer Space


The Seahorse from Outer Space can change colors like a chameleon.
Its favorite color is orange, but it likes green as well.
Sometimes it’s a problem because it can’t decide which color to wear.
So it wears both.

The Cosmic Squirrel


The Cosmic Squirrel's mission is to seek out new nuts,
New types of cashews that have fallen into black holes,
To wander from planet to planet...
And go where no squirrel has gone before!

Eustache


Eustache is creeping around my door.
Eustache slithers forward with a wet, drippy sound.
Eustache is drawing closer!
Lift your feet when you walk, Eustache!
You're dragging your feet!

Turnip Chin


Turnip Chin is a vegetable monster.
With roots for legs and branches for arms.
And tubers for feet and leaves for fingers.
He's lean and green, our Turnip Chin.

Fish Breath


Fish Breath makes people run away.
It’s not because he’s a particularly scary ,
Or because he is ferocious.
The real reason is that he forgot his breath mints at home.

The bad little boy


The bad little boy who played with matches,
Burned a building down.
When he died he went down to the Inferno,
Where he is still playing with matches.

Buzzer


Buzzer is a giant mosquito without wings.
It likes to bite you.
Then, just like a real mosquito...
It goes to lay 300 eggs.

Big Head


Big Head has deep thoughts.
It thinks about the stars in the night sky, the planets and the galaxies...
Black holes swallowing up quasars...
Suns becoming supernovas...
And pistachio ice cream.

The Crusher


Nobody likes to play baseball with the Crusher,
Because his mitt is so over sized
He never misses catching a ball.
Also, when a pitcher strikes him out,
He destroys home base with his other hand.
Boo!
You're a bad sport, Crusher!

Bad Dreams


Last night just before going to bed,
I ate two pieces of chocolate cake,
Some potato chips,
And three glasses of soda pop.
For no reason at all,
I had a bad dream while I slept.

Lonely Eyes


I’m bored, I don’t know what to do.
Will you come and play with me?
I have six thousand toy figurines we could play with.
Or forty-seven video games on a high definition screen and 3D sound.
Or five mountains of board games.
Have you ever played checkers?

The Cosmic Potato Beast


The Cosmic Potato Beast is simply delicious to eat.
You can smash it or mash it!
You can cook up grits with it!
Delicious with gravy!
But you have to talk it into jumping into the oven first.

The Wicked Robot with my Ex-wife's Brain


"Is your nose red? If you've been out drinking with the boys again,
I WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU!"

"If you don't take out the garbage NOW,
I WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU!"

"You can't wear a blue shirt with green pants!
Go change your shirt right away, or,
I WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU!"

I'm getting pretty tired of the
Wicked Robot with my Ex-wife's Brain.

Lionhead


Lionhead is king of the cosmos.
He zips around in his cool spaceship, which has a big sound amplifier on top.
When he flies over a planet, Lionhead plays the recording of himself roaring.
It comes out of the amplifier real loud!

Mumbling Morton


Mumbling Morton does not speak very well.
His articulation leaves something to be desired.
When he talks to you, you should correct him if you can.
Otherwise he will never learn properly.

ReptoClaw


ReptoClaw is a cool monster with the head of a reptile,
And a big claw that shoots out laser beams!
His mouth is open big and wide like that,
Because ReptoClaw also likes to yell.

Beakster


I am Beakster and I have a tail feather
If you come too close to admire it
It will tickle your nose
And make you sneeze
I don't like people who sneeze all over my neck

Somno the Clown


Somno is a sinister clown, don't trust him.
When your back is turned, he plays dirty tricks.
Yesterday he tied both of Billy's shoelaces together while he wasn't looking.
Billy fell and scraped his knee badly.
Bad Somno!

Vanwinkle


Vanwinkle has a silly hat on his head.
Is it a pumpkin?
Is it a big orange?
Or is it a parasite from outer space?

Glowing Gus


Glowing Gus is radioactive.
That's why he is both fluorescent and phosphorescent.
That means that he glows in the dark.
It's pretty scary when he sneaks up on you at night.

Jack-in-the-Box


Jack in a cubicle bursting to be free,
Only one thought in his mind, and that is to flee,
The nine to five is not his cup of tea,
And so his mind wanders like a spring on a spree.

Wobbly


Wobbly is one of those creatures you can only love.
He has charm, poise and speaks of interesting things.
Yesterday he talked about the physics of elasticity.
And then he proceeded to do a demonstration with his own body!

Scary Scarecrow


Last night I dreamt about Scary Scarecrow.
I was standing in the middle of the corn field and he was very upset with me.
I tried to get out of the field and back on the road.
But my feet got stuck in the mud...
I was trapped in the corn field with Scary Scarecrow.

Acid Ejector


Acid Ejector, you're a sore loser!
When you play ping pong, you throw the racket at the wall.
When you play checkers, you throw the board out the window.
When you play baseball, you spray the other team with acid.
Oh, no!

The Magician with No Eyes


I am the The Magician with No Eyes.
Abra Kadabra!
Hocus Pocus!
Elia Kazan!
Hex! Hex! Six! Hut!
Now you have no eyes, but I do!
Ha, ha, ha!

Cornelius


Cornelius has a bad habit, he only eats cupcakes!
He doesn't like apples, or carrots.
He refuses broccoli and celery.
Cornelius is not very healthy!

Creighton


Creighton is a happy kid monster, except for one thing.
Creighton lost a baby tooth today.
His parents told him this happens to every little monster.
But his baby tooth is so big,
That Creighton is worried that it will break the tooth fairy’s budget.

The Flying Monstrosity


It has one eye and a dragon tail...
Garlic breath and a mysterious pulsing ray blast...
It flies with amazing claw wings...
Red like blood or the setting sun...
The Flying Monstrosity!

Squidface


Squidface has tentacles on its head.
Squidface has tentacles for arms.
Squidface has tentacles for feet.
Squidface even has tentacles instead of a tongue!
Gulp!

Bed Head


Don't look at me!
I woke up this morning with a bed head...
My hair is sticking out every which way!
I look a fright!
