Out of Water

It’s getting a little warm in here I’m wondering is there heat somewhere near? The animals are causing quite a stir I hope it’s not to warm with their fur. I’m here to keep them warm at night And safe as I can until daylight. I fear something is definitely wrong Hopefully someone will check before long. It’s really getting hot in here It’s a fire that I most fear. My structure seems to be getting weak It’s safety the animals seem to seek. Oh finally the fire trucks have arrived Now maybe everyone can be safe inside. Oh dear, what did I hear them say They are out of water on this terrible day. The animals safety for them I pray I can hear the horses as they neigh No longer can I hold this frame I guess it is the lack of water I can blame Contest: Out Of Water Sheri Fresonke Harper 2/17/15
