Mazes - Bob Norman
When ms. packman ate the first blue monster
double eyes ran wild in the mazes
When ms. packman ate the second blue monster
the jukebox was playing i know what boys like boys like
nathan was working late at the office
silent boxers with black faces and bloody gloves
loomed high above the barstools
When ms. packman ate the third blue monster
the empire state building turned from blue to green
a wino rolled over on the cold concrete
of seventh ave struggled to get up then went back to sleep
three plainclothesmen walked in through the door and the
jukebox wondered: should I stay or should I go?
When ms. pacman went for the fourth blue monster she
suddenly noticed that the flashing had stopped
the jukebox was silent
the boxers cried out
the moon shone full over manhattan
the empire state building shivered
She barely escaped in time
