Sci Fi from Not Saved by Kurt Ringquist

Well, it's lumpy and bumpy
And it's got green skin,
And a mouth that's positioned
To the left of it's chin,
If that is a chin -
I can't really say.
And each eye is looking
A different way.

Faster, faster,
You gotta move faster
If you wanna escape
And avoid disaster.
It busted the window and cracked all the plaster,
Don't care if your foot hurts,
You gotta go faster.

It's a trauma, I know,
To be in this position,
When you're not really sure
Of the thing's disposition.
But we can't be picky
About what we do,
'Cause it's really quite icky
And smells like the zoo.

Faster, faster,
You gotta move faster
If you wanna escape
And avoid disaster.
It busted the window and cracked all the plaster,
Don't care if your foot hurts,
You gotta go faster.

I think we can make it
To Bobby's back porch,
And we'll grab a pitchfork
And we'll grab a torch.
And maybe we'll win,
But, for now, gotta run -
Nobody said monster attacks
Would be fun.

Faster, faster,
You gotta move faster
If you wanna escape
And avoid disaster.
It busted the window and cracked all the plaster,
Don't care if your foot hurts,
You gotta go faster.
