151 - Chris Part Two

There was a mountain house

Covered in blue sparkly snow

And at the time of triple midnight

The air began to glow

Chris the kindly monster

Stared up at the sight

His glistening spines did shiver

In the freezing hot cold night

He slinked off to a valley bar

It was time to drown his sorrows

Maybe he’d get his benefits

In the post tomorrow

The pub’ was not too busy

Just the usual regular guys

There was Martin over there

With his three hundred eyes

And sat over in the corner

Was Trevor the friendly goat

He’d fallen on hard times

Ever since he ate his own fishing boat

Chris only ordered half a pint

He didn’t have much money

But the bartender gave him a free smile

He didn’t think it was funny

Everyone has their rough times

Even well-known monsters

And Chris was no exception

He just needed a good sponsor

And so he sat there quietly

Until the sun began to rise

When you’re in good company

It’s amazing how time flies
