Furries Grooving with a Pict

In the cavern's cool embrace, a furry rave unfolds,
Where whiskers twitch and paws tap, to rhythms wild and bold.
Not humans dance tonight, but creatures small and fleet,
United by the primal beat, their tiny hearts do meet.

A badger thumps his furry chest, a drum made of a bone,
While field mice squeak a happy jig, atop a mossy throne.
Squirrels scamper, tails aflame, in blur of bushy red,
As hedgehogs roll and sway and bob, upon a leaf-strewn bed.

The Pict, with woad-stained skin and eyes that gleam like fire,
Chants ancient melodies, that stir the wild desire.
His pipes weave magic through the air, a haunting, earthy song,
That lures the creatures closer, as the revelry grows strong.

Bats swoop down in dizzy dives, their wings like shadows cast,
And owls hoot out a harmony, their wisdom long surpassed.
Each creature finds its voice, a symphony of squeak and chirp,
As nature's chorus fills the cave, with rhythms that both purr and rip.

No disco ball, no flashing lights, just moonlight's silver gleam,
Reflected in a thousand eyes, a furry, joyous dream.
This dance transcends the mortal coil, a primal celebration,
Of life and earth and furry joy, in this wild cave creation.

So let the beat forever pound, within this hidden space,
Where small furred friends and ancient Pict, find freedom in their chase.
For in this grotto's heart they've shown, that music knows no bound,
And every creature, great or small, can groove upon the ground.

So next time you hear a rustle, or a chirp within the night,
Remember the furry disco, bathed in moonlit, earthen light.
For even in the smallest things, a wild rhythm can reside,
And nature's dance will carry on, with a joyous, furry tide.
