Nightlife
when the sun sets and the moon arises
the real things come with their dark surprises
lay low down and shut yor mouth
and wait for the wild things of the south
Florida panther and the bear
seek the river as they share
savannahs filled with fern and blossom
watch the skink and skunk and 'possum
delve below the surface mirror
peel your vision ever clearer
there's so much for y'all to see
be a tourist up a tree
not with gun nor bow and arrow
bring a camera,snap a sparrow
better yet go on a mission
out to use your best night vision
lay low down and shut yor mouth
and watch the wild things of the south
