Thank You

Dear Godzilla,

My name is Stephen. I am seven years old. I have a Huffy bike. Do you have a bike? I like dogs. Thank you.

Love,

We All Laughed

Dear Godzilla,

Some kid at school said a bad name when I told about you in school. I know that when you finally come to kill everybody there [SIC] will be some kids who are very sorry they ever said theres [SIC] no such thing as you. I told him he will get burned up by your fire breath but then a very funny thing happened when some older kids heard he didn't think you were real[:] they kicked the boy until he bled and held his stomack [SIC] and cried and said he did really think you were [real] after all. Then we all laughed at the little boy.

Love,

Don't Get Me Started

Dear Godzilla,

I don't believe in you. What are you, kidding me? You're supposed to be anywhere from two-hundred to four-hundred feet tall? How much would you weigh in that instance? Not that it matters since you would be crushed by your own weight if you ever tried to move. That is horseshit, and I don't care if you tell my mother I said that, which you can't even do since you can't exist anyway. You violate the Square-cube law. I reject you.

Are you supposed to be some kind of heretofore undiscovered theropod dinosaur? With protruding osteoderms? In the debunked vertical position with your tail dragging on the ground? On the ground? Bigger even than the sauropod Seismisaurus or the still- unconfirmed Amphicoelias fragillimus? By the time blood from your impossibly large heart reached your too-massive head, you'd be long since dead. Also, you've got the wrong kind of head; it looks more like a wolf's head or something.

Don't get me started on that fiery Atomic Breath. Yeah, right. You suck.

Okay, I'm sorry. I just saw this movie that was supposed to have you in it, but it didn't. It just had Matthew Broderick. I spend almost all of my allowance to go see it, but felt really ripped off. I'm sorry I said all those bad things and I didn't really mean them, so please don't get mad and kill me. I wish you would come to my home town and kill all the kids who beat me and call me a loser and a geek and a fatty with tits. I respect you always.

Feeling Okay

Dear Godzilla,

I have never seen you eat anything before. Are you feeling okay?

They Are Afraid

Dear Godzilla,

Of what worth is a man's soul if he cannot cry? I ask those on the street, but they are afraid. I ask you for you fear none.

When I'm Grown Up

Dear Godzilla,

When I grow up I want to marry you. I think you won't be too old because you are already more than four million years old and still the same as four million years ago. When I am eighteen, which is how old I found out I have to be to get married, I want to get married to you and stand on your nose and ride on it. I am pretty now and I will be more pretty when I'm grown up.

Love,
