The Jenoviad Entry #77
They were on Floor Sixty
And to top were drawing near
‘Cross the hall was a staircase
But they could four guards hear
Barret whispered, “We’ll sneak by
Avoid this one combat”
Cloud, still dizzy, dropped his sword
“Oops. Sorry about that”
Guards dispatched, the big man groaned
“There goes our chance at stealth”
“What’s the matter?” chuckled Cloud
“You worried ‘bout your health?”
“Charging in was fun, for sure
I’d do all that for free
But even I don’t wanna fight
The whole damn company!”
AVALANCHE trudged up the stairs
Not showing much aplomb
On Sixty-one they found a scene
Of most surprising calm
A man whose suit was sharp as tacks
Approached, gave them a key
“Now go and clean that bathroom
And be quick! I’ve got to pee”
“You . . . didn’t hear a fight below?
Shots fired? Busted doors?”
“Good lord! I’ve no time to keep track
Of all those lesser floors”
