Prompt: Growth

I want to be a kaiju
A kaiju I want to be
Because when you are a kaiju
you get into movies for free

I want to eat radiation
To gobble it down today
Because when your food is glowing
Nothing can get in your way

I want to kick a tower block
to punt it across the ground
Because when it lands in Alaska
It makes such a wonderful sound

I’ll be a friend to children
And date Jet Jaguar too
While the army hates me
People love my fun kaiju crew

I want to be a kaiju
A kaiju I’m going to be
Because when I become a kaiju
No one is stopping me
