If there’s something in the walls
Don’t assume that it’s a mouse.
What you hear may be a Grift
Who is living in your house.
If you ever see a Grift
Then it’s likely there are more-
Lurking in the cupboards
And concealed beneath the floor.
* * *
Like some evil dam has broken,
And its acid torrent loosed,
The Griftish hordes return each spring
On the backs of duck and goose.
* * *
When it comes to the Grift
Here’s some advice;
They’re not to be trusted!
They’re slick as ice!
LAKE CHAMPLAIN
THOSE WHO LIVE IN VERMONT, AS ME AND MINE DO, HOLD THE EASTERN SHORE IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO, BUT EVEN WE CONCEDE NEW YORKERS HAVE THE BETTER VIEW

you better be writing a children's book to publish.
OR ELSE.
Can I still illustrate it?
... and why does Grift sound so much like the name of my first born? Maybe the hordes of evil creatures could be Rowdens. Just a tought.
I am writing a book, but it is still in the planning stages. Of course you can illustrate it, but I'm afraid that would be kind of a kangaroo ticket. I think any book that you illustrate would be the sort of book people buy for the illustrations. These little creatures were called the Grift far before you and Reid were even an item, but still... Rowdens... I like the sound of that.
