Wwweeelll!

Wwweeelll!

I went out to my kitchen
to grab a bite to eat
When a tiny little black thing
went a whippin by my feet.

It was dark and it was furry
and it had whiskers too
So I did a little side step
and let it pass on through.

It’s a good thing no one saw me
I was thinking to myself
When I did a little dance
all the way to my dish shelf.

I slid into the counter
I opened up the drawer
I got a wooden spoon out
to defend against this spore.

I waited and I baited
with some cheese upon a stick
But the furry little creature
wouldn’t budge a tiny bit.

So I got a little closer
and he jumped at me it seemed,
And the two of us went running
as I let out a scream.

This was stupid and embarrassing
and push just came to shove
So I went to fetch a shovel
and a pair of leather gloves.

It was then that I did noticed
I was still in my bare feet
So I went to get my work boots
the ones with steel cleats

Did I tell you that this critter
was as big as a small dog
And had three rows of shiny teeth
and jumped just like a frog.

But I was a lot bigger
a lot smarter too
So if it took me all the night
I would show it who was who.

I waited in the dark room
I held my heavy breath
And in my pants and parka
man I began to sweat.

But I waited in the kitchen
my shovel held up high
And finally I did see it
as it went running by.

It looked at me and smiled,
then it jumped up to attack
So with my shovel in my hand I went
whack, whack, whack, whack, WHACK!

I knew that I had got it
there’s no way it could escape.
So I went to turn the light on
to see this creature’s fate.

When I lifted up my shovel, you’ll never guess just what I saw,

WWWEEELLL,

it’s a good thing I live alone you see,
For now no one will know,

About the night I had a run-in
With a little

RUBBER BALL………
