I plumped myself down in a corner
Sat there for what it seemed like forever
My expressions an inscrutable mixture

Tormented in a blazing invisible fire
My whimpers and groans leaped
higher and higher

My misery and distress outpoured
and my pain screamed and roared

Scared to utter a word or speak
I only managed a shriek and a squeak

On this October bluey night
I  simply wished to disappear from sight
