The Power's Gone Out
Jennifer, Age 11, Kitimat, BC

The power's gone out, whoop-di-doo
I can’t even make a pot of pig stew
I can’t eat my dinner potatoes and slugs
I can’t drink the pond water out of my jugs!

I can’t have breakfast toast and toe jam
I can’t eat my dinner cattails and ham
Can’t eat my favorite spiders galore
I can’t eat even eat mouse tails from the store!

Bear paws are good
they are my favorite kind of food.
Bird feet divine
With a little bit of wine

The power's gone out, whoop-di-doo
You can stay for dinner
We’ll have cockatoo stew!
