Little boy and baby lion
mother's late tonight,
fur ball with a squeaky voice
fighting the night light.
Reach down grab him
be the mom, up here!
In the bed!
Lions work an alligator
when it leaves the water.
The door was locked when dad
went out,
mom had to find her daughter.
When a reptile's in deep water
he is the master gator,
grabs a lion by the foot
will flip him, eat him later.
Scratching on the window
night time settles down
no sound now, just resting
fuzzy head turned around.
Inside night and two am
dreams are moving curtains
window is the picture frame
The Scream new work inserted.
Gator smiling at the boy
great big saucer eyes
grin so wide, great teeth
inside, claws for
blood diamond etchings.
Cubby getting feisty
gator's on the floor
little boy a bed wetter
tail whips have made him so.
He cannot make a sound
right now but his friend
has wheels want down
upon the floor right now!
His paw tips begin flashing.
Teeth arriving on the bed
nearing meat and bone
the little guy spits in his eye
then jumps his pea-brain dome.
Then they hear the biggest roar
they've ever heard before
back door, kitchen, hallway.
Shoe size eyes the door.
Gators are tremendous
but not out in the woods
in a pond with otters
they graduate to good.
Suddenly it dawns on him
there's nothing here to use
he flashes past the momma
tries for a bathtub view.
Junior's having a great time
chomps down on his tail
gets whipped around
mom bats him off
for awhile he sails.
Reptiles can have issues
someone grabs their throat
Boy's mom comes home
is at the door
the key is coming out.
Here she comes! The room is cool
Buddy watching in the bed,
beloved boy been dreaming
some, awakens
"Where's my cat?!"
He blames it all on Buddy.
"The dog has wet the bed!!"
"He must have had a dream
tonight."
Buddy joyful,
offers his stomach.
