Glitch

Casually strolling along
wondering what could go wrong
when something went bump in the night
something went bump in the night
and it gave me a terrible fright

Shiver me timbers
I can’t remember
if it was a Monday or it was December
one thing that I do recall
I felt, oh, about 3’ small

Merrily rolling along
singing my silly song
when something went bump in the night
something went bump in the night
and now it’s a turbulent flight

I can’t tell my pitch from yaw
I felt what I felt, I saw what I saw
things went the way they will
if all I did was glitch back there
why is it fuzzy still?
