Lynx describes her anxiety about being in the cave.

lyrics

LYNX

My fur is beige and fine and tawny
My whiskers white and fine as wire
My claws are long and sharp as nails
My body long and sleek as fire

For I have an appetite that's strong as steel
I'm hungry from the dawn to dusk
Mice I like, chipmunks, too, I savour
Even rabbits with their veins and musk

But I'm afraid I speak here of times
When times are normal and the sun at play
And the flowers and the birds in flight
Which is not the way things are today.

Today we're squished into this dreadful cave
To wait out something called a forest fire
This cave is long and very dark
The situation serious and rather dire

If we’ve been cooped in here for a week
The question that bedevils and confounds us now
Is how much longer? How much longer do we creatures great and small, have to live like this?
