In the little town of Grover, there's
A little shop of horrors
An evil shack of gore and scare
Of loathing and abhorrer

Inside it there's a deadly cache
Of large, flesh-eating plants
A floristry, so cruel and botch
They'll even eat your pants

And, in the very back of it
There stands the biggest one
With largest mouth, wide as a pit
It grows without the sun

Oh, by the way, it also talks
With very raspy voice
Belching about, it spits and squawks
And with it's limbs, it hoists

Whatever that may come in reach
It snags it with it's vines
From giant cow to little peach
It really does not mind

The man who owns this little shop
Is scrawny and wears glasses
He's nurtured this unruly crop
And feeds around the masses

The giant plant rules him around
Demanding what it wants
And with it's vines, it pounds the ground
Then threatens him and taunts

" Feed me, feed me!", it yells out
"A parrot, cow, or apple"
"And if you don't, I'll scream and shout,
Then throttle you and grapple"

The man runs out to go in search
To seek around and browse
He rumbles through the twigs and birch
And slays the nearest cow

He grabs the mongrel by it's tail
And slowly drags it back
Trudging slower than a snail
Back to that bloody shack

And in the doorway he collapsed
So putrid and so weak
Ah, maybe from the heat perhaps
The water runs in streaks

He walks back to the giant plant
And says he's brought a cow
Huffing, puffing in a rant
He'd killed it with a plow

Off from his shoulder, he doth look
And peered into his hand
In bitter shock, his mouth unhooked
He stood, just with a strand

Alas! he thought he had a cow
But, only held it's tail
He'd lost the bulk and lost the bow
Somewhere along the trail

The monster asked, "Where is my cow?!",
"I'm very very hungry"
"Don't make me have to break you now,
I will get very angry!"

How was the man to tell the beast
The tail had just ripped off?
He only had this for it's feast
Dismembered from it's trough

He frightfully said there, filled with dread
"It snapped along the way"
And with a tilt, he bowed his head
"I lost your cow buffet"

The monster reached out with it's vines
And snagged the little man
Then shook him straight out of his mind
Just like a soda can

Then brought him closer, closer in
Into it's gruesome mouth
Into it's gape of jagged teeth
Into it's belly, south
