And the Antelope and the Deer, and the Ostritch and the Zebra hid their faces and ran like tiny children into the shirvelling blackness around them. The trees grew hoods and the cows winced. All the crops began to droop. Even the coal rattled in terror for lo there was no light anywhere. And he was well pleased with his labors. And he smiled. But he was unable to find his way out of the room. Consequently, he blundered around his new creations, stamping helplessly left and right upon the new buds of his endeavor. Octopusses, catepillars, tendons and worms...squashed like bugs. Easter bunnies ruptured like eggs. At length he found the door and fumbling with the handle, he chanced to knock the key onto the ground. As he lowered his nose to rummage around with that vast appendage where he might see something on the floor, he beheld a ray of light coming in from the hall.

His self esteem is based on false alarms
and the fact that no one looks like a fashion plate
You've got beautiful eyes, you're the perfect size
You've got a huggable waist and impeccable taste
A thousand watt smile and miles of charm
Arms to hold me, keep me from harm
You think you're not pretty but you're beautiful"

I shield my eyes and hide from the bright of day
And cast the stone deep into the field of man
And hide in shame

And shield my body with ferns of grey
And ask no more of life unsaved
Amd smile no more and lay here scaved
Become the tombstone of my grave"
