Only the Critters Stayed
Lights out, lights out!in the run about, the critte
rs flee to me. Storm, blazing lightening, air too w
arm My friends with fur feel a curse On the wi
nd- a sense of berzerk Huddling together, kit
ty close for good measure Ozone green, bir
ds stop the preen Feels like a train is
gliding by, so close nigh Rumble the
ground before the sound The animal
s knew-I had no clue. we shudder
in this shack back to back. A -
growl here, a hiss there, out
A banshee on the wind, mak
es me want to flee Ye
t the TWISTER keeps
us here, shaking me
nagerie Slamming ra
in above our h
eads- Oh the d
read! Here we
must stay
