I Saw A BIG HAIRY MONSTER!!!
(C) 1999 By Elizabeta
It's getting darker
by the minute
I stare out into the hazy twilight
Maybe I should go back in now
The evening is fading into night
No - I'd like to stay
out a little bit longer
Everything is so peaceful and serene
The world is lit with softly dimming light
It's just like something from a dream...
Wait - what was that
-
I saw it from the corner of my eye
I look up - just to see -
a big hairy monster running by!
I blink - then blink
again -
could it have - what did I just see?
Trying to explain the unexplained
Which urban legend should I believe?
Was it a werewolf on
the prowl?
No - for tonight is not a full moon
Was it one of my crazy neighbors?
I wouldn't put anything past those loons!
Was it Bigfoot who just
ran by?
No - Bigfoot lives in the Northwest
Maybe it was a distant cousin of his
who thought the east coast was the best
Was it an alien from
another planet -
perhaps a creature from Mars?
If it was, did it come in peace -
or is this a threat from the stars?
Was it a mutant freak
of nature?
Maybe it was a gigantic mutant rat -
a huge rodent with a bad attitude -
who has a hankering for my cats!
I'm trying so hard to
make up
a slightly logical explanation
Was that big hairy monster real,
or was it just my imagination?
Real or imagined - I
do not know
but I think that I best be going now
Whatever it was might come back
and I might end up as monster chow...
