A Scary Night In 1973
I was certainly a nervous mother
left on my own with a one year old child
my husband had gone on a business trip
noise startled me, one after another
imagination had gone quiet wild
squeaky back door let out a teeny rip
I was terrified as mother and wife
my back doorknob was moving with a whip
nothing about my hot feelings were mild
Muscatine police came to save my life
rapidly found four raccoons in their grip
