Five, six, seven… ROAR!
You try it now.
Don't be a drip.
I'll count you in,
Just let it rip.
Five, six, seven...
grrrr
Grrr? Grrrrrr???
Grrr is no good!
It will not scare.
Now, try again.
Don’t dry your hair!
One, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven...
eeek
Eeek? Eeek????
Eeek is a squeak!
Not right at all.
Suck in that breath,
And stand up tall.
One, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven...
woooo
Woooo? Wooooo?????
Look.
You’re not a ghost!
You’re big, You're tough.
Underneath that
Bright green fluff.
One, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven...
boo
No, no, nooooo!!!!!!
I don't want Eek!
I don't want wooo!
I don’t want grrr.
Or even BOO!
I can't believe you
Cannot ROAR!
And I shan’t
Help you anymore.
You’re a loser.
You’re a wuss.
And you’re a…
ROAR!
…monster!
Just like us.
