I'M Still Afraid

I took off work early and drove on home that day The wife and kids were out and about I guess I laid back on the sofa and found some music to play I wanted a beer to finish the day, I had some Guinness So I got to go to the fridge and turned the corner What was at my window, watching me, those eyes Big and gray, all hairy and tall? It was pure horror I stared for a second or two, I almost died! I was only able to walk backwards, not turn around I made it to the sofa, sat down and stared straight ahead My mind locked up, I couldn't move or hear a sound That was a Bigfoot, nine foot tall I figured, am I dead? Is he going to come in? I didn't know what to do, I waited A half hour or so went by before I could move So I looked around the corner and it had vacated I wish I had owned a gun then, a big one too I did go outside and found a lot of foot prints The spring snow in Anchorage was 4 inches high I tried to make castings, but that was the pits Nothing came out, so I just went inside When my wife came home, I gave her a hug She asked if I was hungry, I said "no, not me" I colored with my kids, there on the rug I never even told her, too afraid you see
