NO EXITS

Round the campus the wolves came with a bound.
They were covered all in fur, from their head to their paws,
And their clothes were all hidden with curses and awe;
Their eyes—how they gleamed! their teeth, how scary!
Their noses likecoals, their maws blood stained like cherry!
Their large pointed ears were drawn up like bows,
A few of them with coats that were as white as the snow;
A snear of their lips and a lowering of their heads
Soon gave me to know I had everything to dread;
They sprang into action, to one another they growled,
And away they all flew, threw their head back and howled.
I didn't mean to exclaim, driven mad by the night—
“Happy New Year to all, and to all a good fright!”
