Red Rocket Running Shoes

the advantage

Red Rocket Running Shoes

 

Igor rigged two radical red rocket shoes

Guaranteed to vanquish any victim

He felt that by wearin these two

A lot of ghoul gobblin he’d be inflictin

 

The last human he’d chased, got away

And he was resolved to solve that situation

So come dark of night, the start of his day

He’d instigate some inspirational chasin   

 

Down the dark street, first victim came

Lookin like a particularly pretty piece of game

A pleasantly plump package on a hike down the pike

As delightful devourin she’d be something he’d like

 

He hummed to himself as she drew near

Salivating at her sweet succulent scent sent

He would start chomping below each ear

Then continue until, she was completely absent

 

He lecherously launched out of the woods

But his red rocket runners ran ahead, instead

Propelling him under a passing semi-trucks bed

That sped speedily over his head

well you know how it goes, it's the day that everyone says it's 9 o'clock but really it's 10 o'clock... I seem to have adjusted ok, thanks for asking

[Relic]

Nicely done. :)

Oh my - sounds like the ongoing fate of Wylee Coyote. Can't seem to catch a break. Beep Beep! I liked it - thanks - Dave

[john l smith]

Haha
I'd forgotten about him
He does always come back doesn't he
Perhaps Igor will also do the head repair trick
Thanks again
Dave

Ha-ha! That's what he gets for buying his rocket shoes from Wile E. Coyote's supplier, Acme. Looking on the bright side, maybe No-Jaw Judy will take a shine to Igor, now that his head is flat. When you can't eat, you may as well do a little romancing!

I want to relay a deep sense of gratitude to you, for your meaningful and astute comments
How is your submarine search proceeding?
Perhaps it has since been repainted to mauve or more likely, a stunning halloween orange.
It is a wide ocean and I wish you the very best of luck

Ha ha. Igor full of malice for others got his just desserts. I love that his red rocket running shoes turned out to have a will of their own. Plenty of alliteration here, for added measure. First read of the morning for me. Good morning from across the pond Dave.
