Fateful Darkness
Out of blackness in the dark
Two bright torches shine
Your yellow eyes
A splendid work of art
As much as I’d like to
Stroke your fluffy coat
I can’t let you in
You black fiend
You’d tear to pieces
My little bird
My only pet
My only friend
So sorry, but now
You do understand
I must bid you
Good night!
Go do your bloody business
Stalking little critters
In the fateful darkness
To your heart’s delight!
