Midnight in the alley,
Any Alley, USA

You act
as if I were a joke,
feint this way or that,
trying to start something.
But beware,
my calico cat
will claw you
and my dog's so hungry
and whining for a midnight snack.
Out of my way!
you'll say and I'll shout back,
good riddance,
as Precious barks
and Fangs hisses.
I warn you,
my parrot Lou
will remove a finger or two
if you poke them at him.
We travel this way;
we protect each other.
These streets are mean,
mother-f***er.
