LYNX'S PLEA

A frenzied friend wants to save me

                              LYNX’S PLEA


      GET OUT OF HERE!  GET OUT!  GET OUT!!

      What’s the matter, Lynx?  Why do you shout?
      Is it the paraffin lamp?
      Are the fumes too strong?
      Are you worried about
      Some danger to Mom?
      Lynx, the power is down and I need to see.
      It’s safe, my love; just let it be.
   
      NO!
      GET OUT OF HERE!  GET OUT NOW, PLEEEASE DO!!
      I WILL NOt HAVE ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU.

      Oh, my Sweet Cat, my Dearest Lynx
      You're the savviest yet, my Darling Pet.
   
      No need to fret, my beloved angel;
      I'll turn the lamp off and use a candle.
