Once upon a yucky time lived a grubbly gringly monster groo
He jiggled in the midnight sun
and feasted on wibbly bungaroos
He gribbled beyond the wobbly fronds and bumbled in the forest froo
He wimbled with the flowersong
and with the frimbles flew.
Once upon an ugly time when gringle monsters knew
That clovely bubbly mischief makers
Made life worth living true.

Well…..I for one think the ugly grubbly is pretty darn cute!
These look like wonderfully knit toys or what my grandkids call “stuffies.” Being a knitter myself, I always KNOW there will be at least one error in my knitting….many times more than one. And yes, last year I knit a dragon for my granddaughter….I told her she needed to use her imagination when she saw it and that it’s name was LOVEYOU 🙂

You made ugly so much fun (although those little stuffies are pretty cute). Loved the rhythm, rhyme and alliteration.

I too made a dragon for my grandson and it’s not perfect either! The little imperfections make them unique. 🙂
