The Goblin In The Tree

Heh-Heh, It's SLIME for me to take my medication Kiddies.  I have had quite a DEADACHE!  Oh well, nothing a little MOANTRIN can't help hee-hee-hee.  Now, here's a DELIRIOUS-DOSE of MONSTER-MEDICATION for yoiu all...
It was in the forest that a boy and girl journeyed through in New Jersey, back in 1898.  They both sang, Little Brown Jug, together, as the dark approached.  All of a sudden, a man came from around a maple tree.  He and the children were all startled.  "Oh, howdy, children.  So sorry for scaring you!" the man said, gulping down a bottle of Jim Beam Whiskey he held.  "Hi sir, it is alright" the kids replied.  "Have a pleasant day" the man said and took off.  "Thank you sir.  You too!" they called.  The girl looked up the maple tree, hearing branches moving.  The boy looked up too and they saw a clawed-foot reach down, landing on a lower-branch.  The claws were thick, spread out and black on the toes of the dark-green foot of leathery-flesh.  "Run Sister!" the boy told the girl and he took her hand, fleeing.  The siblings ran into the man.  "What in the world children?!" he exclaimed.  "A monster sir!!" they said to him.  "Monster?  What?" the man asked the children.  "Yes sir in the tree" they said.  He returned with the kids to the maple tree.  "It's up there sir" the girl said and she and her brother found the man had vanished.  Just then, they saw the thing entirely, up, in the tree.  The monster glared down at them, with bulgy eyes of pure black like marbles.  Its hairless, dark-green leathery-flesh and long, thick, yellow-fangs, the children stared at, as the creature brought a black, clawed-hand to the branch of the maple tree.  The goblin in the tree growled in a low-pitch and the girl screamed in fear.  The goblin dripped a dark-green oozing-slime from its skin and transformed into the man.  "Please don't be afraid children for I am the goblin!" he assured them.  
That man just BRANCHED-OUT being a monster.  And the children were going to LEAVE the maple tree before they knew who the creature was ha-ha-ha-ha.  I feel much better kiddies.  I am all done COFFIN MY HEAD OFF!  Whoops!  There it goes hee-hee-hee!
