The Dodongo

A boy took a walk through the deep dark wood,

A keese saw the boy,

And the boy looked good…

"Why hello little boy!"
The keese said with a smile,

"How would you like to lunch with me,

In my dark cave house?"

"That's- that's awfully kind of you, Keese,"
Stammered the young hero,

"But I'm having lunch with a- a dodongo!"

"A dodongo? What's that?"

"A dodongo?

Why, didn't you know?
He has terrible teeth in his terrible jaws,

And on the end of his arms he has terrible claws!

An his favourite meal is… Keese ice cream!"

The boy said all this,

And in his eye there was a gleam.

"Why, where are you meeting this beast?"

Asked the keese with a scream.

"Ah, here!"
The boy answered,

"Here by the stream!"

"Then I must be going!"
The keese said.

"I will be seeing you!"
And away the keese flew.

A boy took a walk through the deep dark wood,
A poe saw the boy,

And the boy looked good…

"Why, greetings, little boy!"
Said the poe with a grin.

"How would you like to have tea with me,

In my undead cabin?"

"That's- that's awfully kind of you, Poe,"

Replied the young hero.

"But I'm having tea with a dodongo!"

"A dodongo? Why, didn't you know?

He has a large wart on the end of his nose,

And great huge bumps on both big toes!

And his favourite meal is… Roasted Poes!"

"Oh! I'll be seeing you soon!"
The poe bawled.

"Goodbye, little boy!"
And away the poe crawled.

"Ha! Silly things!"
Said the boy with a smirk.

"Two adults like them,

They should know,

There's no such thing as a dodon-"

But the boy was cut off,

By an unearthly roar,

And standing there,

Was a creature..

He had terrible teeth in his terrible jaws,

And on the end of his arms he had terrible claws!

He had a large wart on the end of his nose,

And great huge bumps on both big toes!

"Why hello, little fellow,"
Said the dodongo.

"How 'bout you come have tea with me,

In my cavernous house?"

"Don't you take me lightly!"
The boy said.

"I'm the scariest creature in this wood!"

"Ha!"
The dodongo laughed.

"Ha, that's good!
Prove it, little boy,

Show me some proof!"

"Well,"
The boy said,

A plan forming in his head.

"You walk behind me,

Just a little bit,

Then you will see my proof,

And surely see I am telling the truth!"

They walked and they walked 'til they neared the stream,

There they saw the keese,

Looking oh so grim.

"Hiya, keese!"
The boy said happily.

"Hello little boy."

The keese said with a sigh.

He looked at the boy,

And he looked at the dodongo.
"And hello- oh!

Goodbye, little boy!"
And away the keese flew.

They walked and they walked 'til they saw the poe,

There she sat,

By her undead house.

"Hiya, Poe!"
The boy said happily.

"Hello little boy."

The poe said with a sigh.

She looked at the boy,

And she looked at the dodongo.
"And hello- oh!

Goodbye, little boy!"
And away the poe crawled.

"I see what you mean, boy!"
The dodongo admitted.

"You are truly the scariest creature in this wood!"


"Yes,"
The boy answered,

Smiling all the while.

"Now, I'm seeing a dodongo..

And the dodongo looks good!"

The dodongo yelped;

He quivered and shivered,

The bawled like a baby,

And turned on his heel.

"I'm awfully sorry,

My boy,

But I promised an old friend,

I'd dine with them!"

And away he fled.

An: Dammit! That was too long!
But still, I like that book, even if it is for kids!
