April arrived
with a message on my desk
“Call Mr. Lyon –
Urgent!!!”

I dialed the number
and was told
“Sorry Mr. Lion can’t come to the phone right now
He is in the CAGE!”

Before I could put down my phone
her unsuppressible laugh jumped out of the line
and bit off my ear, splashing blood
all over my face

It then attacked my innocent officemate
helplessly I stood by and watched him
roll about and eventually die
of laughter
