Time we stand silent
And hold still in our mouse-holes
The cat is hunting

Feel the lynx in me
I will now end our silence
Crying out our names!

Argh, too slow...

We stand together
Until the bowling ball comes
Then nine of us fall

So:

"Hang separately"?
No! It's "wash separately".
Now all shirts are pink.

Better than being a redshirt
Redshirts always die

Grounds for a bad pickup line:
"Babe, it's my last chance."

"Babe, it's my last chance"
Those pathetic words merit
A slap in the face

A slap in the face
No insult, just a mozzie,
I guess you showed her.

your collection of rat skulls.
Why else would she run?

Werewolves are hunting tonight
So fleeing makes sense

So, fleeing makes sense,
and fighting makes sense; petting
the riled beast does not.

The riled beast does not
contend to sniff my hand, it
flees under the desk
I write poetry sometimes.
