Everything changed when the house flooded
And washed away the topsoil
All routines and havens washed away
Nothing left but us and skeletons of past usses
These remains over here are particularly interesting
They tell the story of stabby-poky
A playful mood most active at dusk
Feeding on water fights, tickling, and headlocks
Long ago stabby-poky was hunted to extinction
Because it was too scary
But there’s viable material here
Maybe we can get all Jurassic Park on it
