The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Eight

THE NARROW SQUEAK 2ND SHOW CHAPTER EIGHT 

The problem is that....... 
Concrete is hard stuff! 
I am not disputing that fact 
Sleep is tough! 

Still, life is on the up and up 
I have my bullet charm 
I have come to no harm! 
My half full cup! 

Three square meals a day 
Roof over my head 
Solid door 
All day to play 
Frankly it's a bore! 

Time for fast track planning 
Get in training 
Make a move! 
I have a point to prove! 

With my proceeds of the first show 
I bribed the guards 
Even the hunter killer dogs 
got a bone or two! 

I was out within a week! 
A little poorer! 
It's only money in any case 
I bought a life on the outside! 
New challenges to seek 
My fans miss my face! 

I must plan the third show........... 
Maybe get a bite to eat 
and a proper bed for the night 
Give the fans a treat! 
Oops! 
I put out the light!
