The Lazy, Not So Frightening Blob
The Blob just sat there
In the middle of the intersection
Quivering
Shaking
Scaring nobody
No one ran away from the Blob
They just gathered and pointed
Angrily honking their horns as they drove around its jellylike mass
A group of kids had gathered
Poking it with sticks
As it sat listless
Uninterested in terrorizes a single person
Days past
It hadn’t moved at all
The police had set up tape and cones around it to keep the public away
Diverting traffic away from it.
Scientist gathered to study it
Taking samples of it for analysis
Trying different things to measure its reaction
They burned it with fire
Sprayed water on it
Nothing seemed to phase it at all
Weeks past
People went about their lives
The scientists had left
A tourist business had blossomed around it
People stopped to pose for pictures with it
Day turned to night
Night turned to day
The Blob remained
Motionless
