Pan’s flute.

She fled from his grasp

Heading towards a village

The folks all had their doors

Sealed, & locked for the night...

Pan pulled out his panflute

And played a luring tune..

Syrinx tried to cover her ears

Yelling for someone to help her.

No one opened up for her

She moved from door to door,

As the sound of the haunting music

Drew closer, ‘n’ closer~ and closer

Her heart sunk thinking this was it-

Her final end—then she smiled...

It was time for a new course of action

Running towards the deep waters

She plunged into the gooey ravine

The dark waters letting her in

Then she maintained focus on the reeds

Seeing its pattern and transforming

Herself into one of them

This was the best idea she’d ever had~

‘‘What a clever plan!’’ she thought-

While smiling infectiously,

As the stars twinkled in the night sky.

She spied Pan’s hooves near the edge

His eyes wandering about for her

She had managed to escape, hmm....

Maybe, he then played a different tune

One of the reeds began to sway

Moving with the sound of Pan’s music

Pan stepped into the waters, too

She cried out, and transformed

Back to her former self

Pan crossed his arms—

Laughed & said: ‘‘Good game, kiddo’’.

Pan picked her up, and then

Placed her on his shoulders

Their time of fun and games was over.
