From behind the bushes it watched
Making sure that it kept hidden
The nighttime, it was their domain
It did whatever it was bidden
The creatures that it was watching
Always made it silently grin
They always did the dumbest things
He could smell them, being downwind
They would stop, knock a tree
Then one of them would scream
Pointed objects toward the woods
It easily saw the light beams
It decided to have some fun
It knew exactly what to do
It threw a big rock at them
Then it scampered out of view
Behind the creatures, his brother howled
So close the creatures cried out
Its mother threw a chunk of wood
The creatures took off with a shout
It followed them to the wood’s edge
Bounced a rock off their truck
Its evening’s entertainment was over
They escaped! Darn the luck!
