Dusk has fallen and the trail is hot.Nearby,is the foul scent of the blood-shot,yellow-eyed 'Wissahickon Creek Monster'.I caught a glimpse of it once and ran into a tree! Past eyewitnesses have reported seeing a creature with,"the tail of a
tadpole,legs and claws of a raccoon and the face of a woodchuck".I thought for a moment that it was my homie,Rob's old girlfriend but I knew she couldn't chuck wood.Others have said," It had 4 inch long, bushy eyebrows". That could have been Mr. Roper,my old mechanical drawing teacher but he died years ago.
Legend has it that on Halloween night, the creature lets out a frightful howl in the night, then leaves the woods (loping along with a hump in his back) by crossing the railroad tracks, looking for little kids to devour.
The creature follows the scent of scrubby little kids,who don't wash behind their ears and wear dirty socks.He watches the kids' bedroom windows and when the lights go
out, walks up the wall like a fly.Then, leaps on the rooftop to eat an appetizer of
blue jay nest eggs laying in the rooftop gutters.Then, for dessert he sniffs around for young children to devour!
The creature cringes at the sight of obedient and neat kids who get good grades on their report card.To protect yourself you have to keep a locked window,shine a bright flashlight beam;keep a clean bedroom and have a report card with an A in Art.If you flunk lunch and recess, you're doomed!
The only surefire way to keep the Creek Monster away is to post 'No knock-No Entry
sticky decals' on your bedroom windows and doors.Then, hope verrry hard that I can catch him tonight and teach him how to read....
