The JellyBaby Uprising
By jfarrell
It started at the Merrow Street corner shop.
I was just walking past, when it exploded
And, out of the debris, emerged
A 20ft tall, multicoloured JellyBaby.
It outstretched its arms,
Leaned back his head
And gave a cry of fury
A chorus, as if a thousand voices, crying simultaneously;
“No more cruelty! No more eating us feet first!”
And with giant strides, several buses long,
Off it went, marching down the street,
Towards the Aylesbury Estate.
Choruses from miles around,
Hundreds? Thousands?
Arose and blew in on the breeze
“Feet first! No More!”
I saw 4 of them tear the Aylesbury Estate apart;
It didn’t take long;
I and some several dozen survivors
Are hiding in the Kiln, in Burgess Park.
Safe, for now.
Before the internet and the TV went silent…
It seemed to be worlwide…
The JellyBabies revolted.
They are in control.
