'The Evil Rock'


You shoulda seen
It - hid between
Tall shoots of yellow reeds.

An artful stone,
It works alone;
Sure footing's all it needs.

It lay in wait
And marked my gait
As I came 'round a corner

And bit my knee
With morbid glee,
Without the slightest warner.

Thus I was caught
In by its plot; 
No match for rocks am I.

Benign they seem,
But watch!  They'll scheme
And cream you where they lie.
