The Room

The Room

© 2003 by Bud Lemire

What lurks beyond the room

Well, one can only assume

One must take a dare

And walk down every stair

Take another step, quickly right ahead

Follow every move, where your feet are lead

Before you get too nervous, look at where you are

You've made it past the Dining room, doing good so far

Now walk a little further, and you will see

The Living room, is the next place you will be

You're doing better, than you've ever done before

Now take some more steps, there's the front door

Open up the door, and take a step outside

You're on the front porch, with your feet as your guide

You've done this before, so down the stairs you go

I thought you were going, now I don't know

Why are you coming back in, so quickly to your room

As if something was after you, I can only assume

Well, it's none of my business, just do as you like

Wait a minute, did I just see some lightning strike

It's best to stay in this room, just like you did before

There's thunder and lightning, outside the front door

It's enjoyable to watch Lightning and hear the thunder

when you are on the inside. For some of us, it's a bit

scarier when we are out in it. Some say it isn't dangerous,

while others say, it can hit you easily. As a kid it didn't

bother me, being out in it. But these days, I'd rather be

inside looking out at it.
