Boy, Put Them Boots Back On

boy, put them boots back on
we got some serious shit to wade through
a primordial swamp teeming with crocodiles
there is no relief
don't go to sleep
we'll be knee-deep in it tomorrow
and there will be no time for Oreos and skim milk
don't count on a break
don't take pictures
grit your teeth and grab my hand
keep your dagger at the ready
monsters with names I can't pronounce are lurking
and smirking and saying we'll make
a tasty
breakfast.
