Fetch No More!


by weiyannn

--------

Under the glow of the full moon
The Varwolf calls into the night
The Mutant Blumaroo has to find the exit soon
Or he’ll find himself in a terrible plight

Deep in the labyrinth he’s 30 steps in
And in the centre of it all the Ergy Paste
He checks off the corners he’s been
And rushes to the exit in haste

But soon he’ll be back in a snap
Along the mossy walls he’ll follow
This time looking for a Grackle Trap
And then an escape from his sorrow

How long has he lived this way?
Shackled by his Master's demands
Has there ever been a single day
Where he wasn’t in the palm of his hands?

Mellow Seeds clasped between his claws
An awful thought flickers in his mind
One insane enough to bring him to pause
What if he just leaves this all behind?

He knows the way out better than anyone
All he needs is the courage to see it through
To his master’s face he would shout ‘Farewell, I’m done!’
He could be a free Blumaroo!

He looks up towards the dark Haunted Woods sky
And feels a comfort in his small mutant heart
Behind those small yellow eyes
He feels for the first time that this is where it will all start

And so the Mutant Blumaroo puts down the Mellow Seeds
Empty-handed but no longer afraid
Whatever ingredient his no longer Master needs
He can go fetch it himself because this Blumaroo is no longer at his aid!
