I don't know what is wrong with me
I've never been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
But look at the fear, these twelve have made
In my yard is where it started
I was so happy
When all of a sudden my gate parted
Twenty-four narrowing eyes did I see
Somewhere in my senses stirred
Uneasiness and dread
Beyond all normalcy, this is so absurd
A light bulb lights my head

One quick leap and up I fled
I think at least I'm safe
My heart slows down
So I can face
The commotion down beneath
As I sit on this would be log
A thought occurs to me
I am a big huge dog
And not where I'm supposed to be
High above, up in a tree
With twelve felines circling me
