Channel: Emma Lloyd
Date: 2018-08-23

Irene's prompt was as follows:

"2. a large and central university building is full of various types of centaurs. horse hippos. horse swans. unicycles with horse heads. horse orcas."

I apologize for not delivering on the horca.

I was finishing my thesis, just a citation away
But the library already closed
And the paper was due the very next day
So i broke into a skylight and let myself in through the roof
Then I saw the people below me
And I suddenly realized the truth

Centaurs in the stacks
Oo wa oo wa oo wa oo
All kinds of shit in front
Horses in the back
Oo wa oo wa oo wa oo
Ready to attack
I still recall the night i saw them
Because just before it all went black
I knew that my thesis was gonna be late
‘Cause of centaurs in the stacks
