Do Not be Fearful

werewolf central arrived in the form of an army
these soldiers were bulky, hairy and swarthy
we were terrified, since we are much smaller than them
Don’t be fearful said an old werewolf Clem

We did not come to harm, we came to save
We do not believe that anyone should be a slave
That night the werewolf militia saved us all
Halloween night in 1992, October, the fall

We owed them a debt of gratitude
Wanted to feed them, but they weren’t in the mood
Good thing since they are voracious carnivores.
They leapt away, each one on all fours.
