He sneaked in slowly through the door,
Never enough, he wanted more,
He reached the bedroom, poised & ready,
To snatch the babies toys & teddys.
He reached in slow, the baby dreaming,
The toddler was awakened, screaming,
In came Father, his gun was drawn,
The Gurgle Burglar is no more.
That's the best I can do, my friend.

Years ago when my baby brother was born I had the idea of writing a bedtime book for him.
He's 17 now because I got stuck after the first couple of lines but people still occasionally bug me about finishing it.
It's called The Gurgle Burglar and is about a mean spirited creature that steals into babys bedrooms and steals there gurgles rendering them gurgleless for some nefarious reason I never figured out.
So If anyone wants to have a crack at finishing it then be my guest, theres not a lot to go with.
The Gurgle Burglar.
The time is right the Burglar said,
As he clambered slowly out of bed.
The time is right,
I feel the need,
On babys gurglings to feed!
So off he crept in dead of night,
In darkened doorways out of site,
Untill he came to Milton Road,
AHA! he said young Jacks abode.
Thats as far as I got in 17 years...

thanks.
I'll try my friend, I'm more into political lyricism than story telling poetry.
I'd struggle to take it any further than that I think.

I have been sleeping on it for an estimated 6025 times and came up with nothing.
