A Shadow of Doubt
Duck!
Get down!
Not down
From a duck.
What the deuce
Silly goose,
Don’t be a clown.
Just watch below
The shadow,
That runs amuck?
Hide!
Watch your hide,
From the thing
That glides.
It will trick you
Then pick you.
It’s so quick, it
Will ‘git you,
In the thicket
Where you hide.
Run!
Grab a gun!
Take aim
Toward the sun.
Shame, shame.
Is it an eagle
Or a seagull?
From whence it came?
What’s its name
It’s so regal?
Lor!
Hit the floor,
Coz it’s coming back
For more!
What’s it carrying?
It is carrion
Which it madly adores.
And man oh man
Its wingspan
Reaches eight feet four.
Coz up there, soars
The mighty Condor!
