Late in the watch was the stroll occasioned
Fearless the subjects and not without reason
Never at the now and never thus previous
Had encounter occurred with a hint of the devious
However this night was to be set apart
Twas to be our first meeting with the beast from the dark
The party was led, brave and carefree
When suddenly there rang out that which should not be
Curiosity, Fear, and Alarm came at once
The predator had been given a spectacular bunce
The moment has arrived, soon it would be lost
Action was required or heavy would be the cost
Quick was my reply, a deep roar from within
Alongside one ally cowered, while the other rushed in
No, said I, this was my battle to win
This beast is my equal and not yours, my friend
The fiend’s fierce retort in us shudder renewed
But no ground could be given, or else three would be two
My mind raced within me as I yelled as a man
We needed retreat to safety; we needed a better plan
Projectiles were the answer; they provided needed escape
Under their protection we hurried; we ran with mouths agape
We arrived safe and sound; the battle was won
The fiend we could kill later, after we had purposed a gun
