Venonat, Venomoth

Nobody ever uses Venonat.

And that’s completely understandable.

With big bead eyes and the snout of a rat

It looks like a fat deer-tick cannibal.

—-

But here for you’s my question of the day.

What is Venonat supposed to be?

The dex says “Insect Pokemon”… okay.

It’s vague. At least the “venom moth’s” easy.

—-

What kind of insect? This I’d like to know.

But I’m okay with ignorance, it’s bliss.

Because do I care about V-Nat? No.

Honestly, I don’t care about this.

—-

Where has the quality of these things gone?

(I’m talking ‘bout sonnets, not Pokemon).

Paras, Parasect

Ah, Paris, it’s the big city of love.

It’s beautiful with places like the Louvre.

It’s elegant. It’s graceful, like a dove.

And the food just makes me want to   g r o o v e .

—-

But Paras, on the other hand, is wack.

An icky, slimy, bug with big sharp claws.

And Parasect’s mushroom consumes his back.

I bet he’s broken forty-seven laws.

—-

They’re creepy-crawly poisonous lil’ twits.

I’m sure that Parasect wants me to die.

His empty cold dead eyes are worse than slits.

Although he’s fungi, he is no fun guy.

—-

These horrid mushroom creatures scare me straight.

(And also while in battle, they’re not great.

Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill

If Caterpie’s a bug that’s not for you

Then take a look at this small hairy thing.

The pointy point, some people say it’s true

That Weedle uses it for poison sting.


The second stage: Kakuna’s not a fool.

He has a sharper point than Metapod.

He also is more edgy and more cool.

And he has such a scaly, rocking bod.


At last the final stage is dear Beedrill.

An awesome Jerry Seinfeld Poké-guy.

He jabs his stinger in and gets the kill.

His mega evolution is real fly.


A super pointy trio are these bugs.

I’d hate to find them living ‘neath my rugs.

Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree

At last, you’ve chose your partner- off you go!

It’s time to leave your former life behind

And as you search the forests of Kanto

Here is a line of beasts that you could find:


A line of bugs (whose names are up above)

A caterpillar and a butterfly

But how come Metapod receives no love?

‘Cause he is a hardn’ing green-blob guy.


Fair Metapod is popular online

For he, they say, is a far beyond compare

Male genitals reflect in its design

And that I’m sure Gamefreak was not aware.


And trainers, when your friend reaches stage three,

If he shall meet a pink girl, set him free.
