My Secret Hoard

My Secret Hoard

Carefully hidden at the back of the draw
Be careful, quiet, just the watch the door

I’m done if they catch me, but careful I’ll be
The zombies search well for something to see

Caught no mercy judged jailed I’ll go
A fool, evil man condemned I know

No razor sharp blade left there to cut
Or blue black dark pistol seven rounds in butt

No Street drugs guiding a willing mind astray 
Or ghastly child pictures images secreted away

No, not all their running dogs running with all best scents
Will discover my treasured old light bulbs with old filaments!
