BE CAREFUL NOT TO CRY WOLF

Hear the screams of terror,
Cries for help.
Where in the woods can it be coming from,
Grab the weapons off the shelf.

A mob assembled,
Will quickly weed it out.
Someone is deeply troubled,
Blood curdling shrieks flowing from their mouth.

All at once advance,
On a young lad laughing.
Looking from one poor fool to the next,
Whose still wondering what had happened.

He's a very funny young sir,
But your conviction just went poof,
Look into my eyes quit the tall tale lies,
Be careful boy not to cry wolf.

Not long before he cries again,
Fooled me once hardly.
That will be the end,
Pointing the laughing finger shame is on me.

Well what do you know......karmas a bitch,
And she has come around to collect it.
When what should appear,
Mr. Big bad hungry wolf,
Clawing deep into a young boisterous mans fears.

Did you hear those screams,
Sounds like someone's being ripped to shreds,
Ignored to get quickly back to dreams,
In the safety of my comfy bed.

Truth shall set you free,
In this case it was made into a spoof,
All my warnings he didn't heed,
Be careful not to cry wolf.
