Steaming the air rises
As the thrill of the chase
Begins...
And carefully pressed uniforms
Lose their shape
As time continues onward...
Oh so secret they thought to believe
But their terror was stuff of legends...
Dogs bark in anticipation
As the crowds become frenzied
Scattering in fear...
Whilst a lonesome beauty
Was caught on unfounded crimes.
