The Visitors at the Treehouse: The Final ChapterA Poem by James Mckay
David asked if he and his crew could stay at the ranch tonight
They needed to re-group and re-strategize what to do next His people began setting up tents in the barn and the stables And set up a defense perimeter in case of any unwanted guest Someone hollered for David and he made his way out thereIt appears there may be some concern for immediate alarm David told the family that there had been some footprints spotted And he told them that it was only a few hundred feet behind the barn So dad asked them if this sort of thing will involve military actionOr will it involve marching into their territory doing an extermination And David and Brian both agreed that since they've become hostile That the next course of action would have to be total annihilation First we would get a hold of a helicopter and go out at nightfallWe would use infrared or night vision to scope out the creatures Then during the day, we would find their den and set up explosives And then once everything and everyone was clear,we kill the monsters Dad asked if that was legal and what about the local and or state policeHe kept on asking if they think needed to leave the ranch for several days David assured him that everything would be all right; they'll make some calls And he said it would be best they do so that he and his family is not in the way As we were packing, David was making phone calls and made dad sign a waiverAnd as we were leaving there was a helicopter on a flatbed trailer under a tarp We finally made it to the hotel and mom was pacing back and forth worried Johnathan and I were anticipating the outcome once tomorrow comes after dark The next afternoon we all were outside waiting to hear the explosion and chaosThen an hour later is when we heard the loud blast and now needed answers We left the motel and headed down the road watching the smoke cloud rise We made it through the gate and up the drive but that's as far as we could get in there One of his crew was on the radio and they said David was surveying the blast sceneThey had to make sure there was no other exits or way for them to escape Once they had the okay that everything was secure and safe for them to leave He radioed back telling them to tell us that they were all good and on their way Months go by and Johnathan and I were thinking about rebuilding the tree houseSo with our folks permission we began reconstruction and built it better to our surprise Then that night, he and I spent the night and we had ourselves a really great time Then we heard some noises and I shone my light and saw nothing but yellow eyes!
