A Place In the Country
A Place in the Country
By Elton Camp
I finally got tired of living on a tiny lot in the city
With the woods and open land, to stay was a pity
So I bought a cabin located on 100 acres of land
Abutting a national forest where to build was a ban
It was a pleasure to be of bothersome neighbors free
So I could walk around outside and nobody to see
All went as I expected for a time after I moved in
Then one dark and stormy night the trouble did begin
In the woods behind my cabin I heard a scary yell
I went outside and was revolted by a horrible smell
A dark and shadowy form crashed through the trees
I frowned with annoyance at distractions such as these
The next morning I went out searching for any track
Because of the muddy ground there wasn’t any lack
Standing behind thick bushes, the intruder I did see
Huge, hairy and gruesome, Bigfoot looked back at me
