Larry is my beast, my man

That just so happens to be

The very best, beastly man

That has come to live with me

**

He sits in my locker all school day

And never ever comes out to play

Instead he just speaks with me

Always keeping me company

**

Larry only has three friends

But on some days it just depends

On whether or not he wants to stay

With Deadbody, Trenchie, and me that day

**

Larry and Deadbody always fight

On who is wrong and who is right

They won’t stop until they see

That they were made differently

**

Trenchie’s the one to tell them this

For she was made by a different seamstress

A dear friend of mine, named Abby

Somehow came to make Trenchie

**

Larry, Trenchie, and Deadbody

Live with me most happily

But the beast who makes their day

Is Larry, Larry all the way

**

Larry is my beast, my man

That just so happens to be

The very best, beastly man

That has come to live with me

This poem/song was written for a little Zombie person I made. Larry was an idea I had at the beginning of 8th grade. I drew a little doodle and came up with a story of how he lived in my locker. Sometimes he even ran away to go to McDonalds. He loves those Big Macs. I decided that someday I would actually MAKE Larry into some stuffed toy or whatever. So I did.

Deadbody is my first homemade creation. He’s just a head. Like those shrunken heads. He pretty much looks like a black onion. Trenchie is just like Deadbody except small, brown, and she’s made out of felted dog fur (and she has a cute little ribbon in her hair).

You may be thinking, “You’re too old to have imaginary friends!” but they aren’t imaginary. They are actual objects that I can hold in my hand. Yeah, sure they can’t talk back, but it’s more of someone listening than someone to converse with. Anyhoo, I love my mute little friends.
