When the hunt-dogs came, the kids thought of fun.
Robots, new pets, remote control toys.
When the hunt-dogs came, they came to all the kids.
Shoed kids, barefoot kids, even kids in sox.
When the hunt-dogs came, the parents couldn’t fight.
Cupboards, closets, even crawlspaces were searched.
When the hunt-dogs came, they came for all the kids.
Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climbed on rocks.
When the hunt-dogs came, the kids couldn’t hide.
Basements, attics, even sheds weren’t safe.
When the hunt-dogs came, they'd eaten all the kids.
Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox.
Hunt-dogs.
Armored-hunt-dogs.
