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
