I feel an itch behind my ear
I scratch - OH NO -I quake with fear
Outside the window, bright and clear
A full moon glows - my fate draws near
Once nails - now claws - I writhe in pain
Once teeth - now fangs - I squirm in vain
Once skin -now fur- my certain bane
My canine ears hear gurgling drain
Mom yells - COME NOW! I feel her wrath
I snarl -I growl - as no man hath
She drags me from my dusty path
From under bed - straight to the bath!
