Story 28
The Catch
Through a hatch that didn't latch, sneaked the Cookie Monster
into the house. Being dark, he lit a match. His snatch, cookies, a whole
batch. He left through the same hatch, and then ran directly into a
briar patch. He received a nasty, tell-tale scratch, and lost a sneaker
that the police were able to match, with which later, they made their
catch.

flunk math . For inciting my wrath, starting tonight you'll go to bed
right after your bath."
