THAT IS THE WAY IN THE LION'S DEN.
RUNNING AWAY FROM THE ROOST AND THE HEN
EATING ALL THE MONEY FROM THE MOON AT NIGHT
ANGERING THE MAN WHO DOES IT ALL RIGHT
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN EVER COME CLOSE
TO RUNNING WITH WOLVES AND EATING THE HOST
MOTHER AND FATHER FORGIVE ME PLEASE
SOMETHING HAS REALLY COME OVER ME
A BUS HAS BEEN RIDDEN
BUT THE CHILDREN STILL CRY
ASKING THEMSELVES WHY OH WHY?
WHY DOES THAT BIRD SING SO LOW
HASN'T THAT THING GOT A PLACE TO GO?
WHERE HAVE THEY GONE TO
WHEN THE CAGED RAT SINGS
OPPOSITES ATTRACTED
SO BRING THE WEDDING RINGS
RIDING THE BULLET
BUT STEALING THE GUN
TAKING A LIFE
OH WHAT FUN
NOTHING CAN STOP US
CAUSE WE'RE ON THE PROWL
LISTEN TO THE SHADOWS
AND THE MOON THAT HOWLS
TAKE NOTE TO THE BOY WHO STOLE YOUR HEART
WHO SUNG YOU PRETTY WORDS
THEN RIPPED YOU APART
IT'S EASIER WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR HOME
THAT GETS WRECKED SO SOFTLY
LIKE YOU'RE ALL ALONE
NOTHING CAN ACTUALLY FIX WHAT HE'S DONE
HE RODE YOU AND WORN YOUAND NOW WHERE'S THE FUN

AVOID THEM
According to my mother
snakes are slithery creatures
of which she can’t stand the sight.
Frogs are nearly
Wild!
With huge sparkling green eyes;
Stalking and surveying with purpose,
You would visit our garden.
Surrounded with an air

LITTLE WILLY COCKROACH.
When the earth was very young, and cavemen walked around,
Dinosaurs were eating and stomping
by Cilissa
WOLF SONG
A male wolf howls at the moon,
He calls out to you this night.
His worries cross the wind,
He sings in the moon's
by L D Redmond
The tale of two creatures.
Over the meadow and far beyond
where it is wet and wild,
there lies, an enchanted pond.
On the surface
