The Howling of Wolves
- It’s
a warning sez he
- Heard
in the night
- An
eerie shivery sound
- Filling
listeners with fright
-
- The
howling of wolves
- Your
hair stands on end
- Unearthly,
foreboding
- Deaths
message to send
-
- Stop
scandal mongering sez she
- Grow
up, act your age
- There’s
no wolves in Ireland
- You
put me in a rage
-
- That’s
the point sez he
- That’s
how you know
- It’s
just like a banshee
- Someone’s
got to go.
-
- It’s
a family thing sez she
- You
say true enough
- You
must be half mad
- To
make up this stuff.
-
- It’s
the howling of wolves
- Keening
and wailing
- No
drowning them out
- You
know what there saying
-
- She
woke very troubled
- And
heard the dreadful sound
- The
crying screaming pitch
- It
was no earthly hound.
-
- Her
heart raced
- It
pounded, it tore
- She
cried out his name
- And then was no more.
- He
found her later
- Half
out of bed
- Unplugging
the tape recorder
- He
softly said
-
- Your
heart wasn’t strong
- The
doctors were right
- Thank
God for the wolves
- Howling
in the night.
