A One Eyed Gopher In A Cactus Patch

A One Eyed Gopher In A Cactus Patch

He travels beneath the sod off the spiral scene
Feeling a bit frantic from the chase he gasps for air
Only to shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
Searching for bread a warm place to lay his head
Out comes the cactus patch to claim it's latest victim
Blackened walls that squeeze it's head so often will bleed
A one eyed gopher in a cactus patch
Outside with the coyote's howl their fever pitched scene
One lone gopher searches for grass but that never lasts
There's a battle brewing with mother nature's storm now brewing
There it appeared this strange cactus patch out of no where
Running head long it collides with the needles formation
May need of some rest on a long awaited vacation
While scrambling for morsels of bread on the ground
Ouch !
You could be a try polite to one famed gopher who is out of sight
Let's learn a lesson all strangers here I preach
Where to lay your head may seem so out of reach
