Gremlins

Don't feed it after midnight, avoid bright light, and never, never get it wet!

There were just three rules!

Break out the blender!

The unofficial challenge: By Matthew Fromm

I had so much fun reading the entries to this challenge, I decided to create a Bad Movie Review Haiku of my own.

I've always enjoyed the movie Gremlins -- Gizmo is the cutest thing and I want to take him home! BUT -- I can't help feeling a little frustrated with Billy every time. You fed it after midnight AND let it get wet? Really? You had one job, dude.

If this made you smile, go join the challenge! Here's the link:
