Howl...oops maybe I'm howling too loud After all this is not the woods of home A concrete jungle all around me And scary sounds, even for a werewolf like me
Buildings so tall they hide the sky And the moon, my friend, is barely seen Muted sounds of distant traffic I fear the hunting will be poor here
What was I thinking to come here Thought the big city might be kinder to me New tastes and new sensations Better get moving around and see
I slink down alleys dark and dreary Rubbish left piled up everywhere And rats so big they could be cats Those mongrels challenge me
Me a werewolf young and proud From a pack of rats I'm running I swear these rats are not normal There's something strange, their eyes are glowing
This horde from hell is right on my tail Ducking left, right, left down alleys Can't keep up this pace, will soon collapse And finally start to lose them
I ran and ran till main street beckoned And Hell's horde left far behind Around the edges of light I skirted Trying to find my way back home
Cross the field and down the highway Never stopping once to eat Thought of meat now makes me nauseous The lifestyle of Vegan sounds good to me

About this poem:
Hi Mum, Coming home as quick as werewolfly possible. When I get home could I please have a nice cup of coca and a bowl of steaming vegetables. And please, please whatever you do...NO MEAT...your loving son, Wolfred.

Enjoyed your poem steve. Entertaining the thought... if only the wolves can eat like cows and rabbits, that would be great! Thanks for sharing this nice thought provoking poetry!
