Attic
The call came on a late Friday, afternoon around four
My last customer paid his bill, just like he did before
It seem that there is some type of action, down the road
I jumped into my truck and zoomed off, like a green toad
The house in question, was on the borderline of land and sea
I had my small skiff in my truck/trailer, that is so smart of me
Parking the skiff on the back of a stone gator, tying her safely up
Walking toward the place of mystery, I heard the growl of a pup
Creaky doors with brightly,diamond colored doorknobs move
I jumped back as that scared me, right out of my cool groove
‘It’s in the attic’ was written in dripping fresh red human blood
Crawling spider like legs, were floating in the flash water flood
This is not good I said to myself, as I climbed the attic old ladder
Darkness met me at the door, scratching and making me madder
The high tech energy power flashlight, showed me the attic today
Crouched into the dusty egg sack filled wall, was the object of play
Watching me and my light, it was the head of a chipmunk all brown
Baring its razor like fangs that were pointed, all the way to the ground
It’s lower body was shaped like a spider, with attached human legs
This must be one of a kind animal cross breed, protecting her eggs
I am not going to be that bad guy, who destroyed this unknown life
It’s time to let her be up here in this place, I’m going home to see my wife
