The Giant Sea Ammonite
Is most unbearably impolite
If it succeeds with its attacks,
It might swallow you, for grace it lacks.
The horror has poison, as well;
It looks rather like the Liberty Bell
(If it were designed by Robert Bloch;
Half Cthulhu, half tattered sock.)
Now, if found in a museum
It would cause far less stress per deum,
But when in Dungeons it’s observed
Adventurers become unnerved.
(And once again, my fervent cry:
“Why, Dungeons and Dragons? Why?
How does it share an ecology
With Dragons, Elves, and sorcery?”)
