The Vacuum Monster
This is the WORST thing about when someone vaccuums!
I hear it start to growl when my mom plugs in its tail. Then its middle gets all puffed up like the belly of a whale.
It drags my mom behind her eating everything in sight. It’s hungry and it’s angry; prob’ly never lost a fight.
My puppy runs away from it. My baby kitty claws it. And we all feel so much better when it’s sleeping in the closet.
It’s not that I am scared of it. I’d never, ever be. It’s just that when it roars, I can’t hear one word on TV!
