The Wolf

By Austin Robert Paul Newbold

In grandmother’s clothes, hungry and sharp teeth
And blowing down houses with three pigs inside
Dark and dangerous like monsters beneath
Hearing before going down the plastic slide
Thinking about in warm shelter at home
Monster is teacher and you are student
You think of dark beasts with mouths of foam
Have fun like the alpha; be wild and fervent
You are a warrior that strikes the fear
Not abused just a teacher for our lives
I am animal but, students will leer
Staying in a pack that is not a hive
Ultimately they are our family
                                From birthday and candy to scraping knee
