Human Lab Rats
Changes are happening to you.
I can tell it through and through.
Changes are happening to me too.
What in the world are we going to do?
Just one sip of this ‘wonder drug.’
It didn’t take much to change your mug.
I am surprised that it changed me too.
Now I am starting to look like you.
This drug, we may not want to keep.
The mirror cracked when I took a peek.
Do you think we will be a hit with girls?
They will instantly break out in curls.
If we can get past all the screaming.
Maybe our lives will have some meaning.
We could be monsters in a horror show.
Scare people way back in the last row.
Quit necking long enough to scream.
It will cause panic and quite a scene.
We will become instant horror stars.
That is, if we don’t end up behind bars.
We’ll be the hit of the Monster Mash.
We will become a graveyard smash.
Not the results we originally wanted.
We’ll make the most of being taunted.
We might even make a ‘how too’ movie.
Now, wouldn’t that be real groovy?
Our lab screw up will make us idols.
Even though, we get chased by Fido.
