Strange Things

There 'it' goes across the road
A shadow in the dark
A blur in the headlights
What could it have been?

Here there be strange things...

Up a tree or in a cave
Did you see it flying?
Scaling up or digging down
Moving side to side
Or hanging from on high...

Here there be strange things...

Crawling or leaping forth
Odd figure hunched in the bush
Ambling like nothing seen before
A thing that should not be...

Here there be strange things...

Four legs, or maybe six?
Two eyes or four?
Screeching past or growling
Furry, spiny, maybe scales
With or without a whipping tail...

Here there be strange things...

Dare not stop to take a look
By its eyes reflecting
You could take one home with you
Its new home now nesting...

Here there be strange things...

...Many strange unidentifiable creatures have been spotted from time to time in the darkness of Devil's Canyon...
