The Fox
is another soul often maligned
by the gentry
and some in the country
I find
who get on their horses
and ride over fields and land
that’s not there’s
hoping that builds
some kind of power base
and force for the good
which fails with Brer fox
who is misunderstood
and is, loving led
he has his vixen
and and an earth
as his home
and without supermarkets
he has to roam
often he rummages in some
chicken coop
unlike you all
prefers fresh chicken soup
and then he gets pasted
and wasted we know
farmers will shoot him
and so he stays low
the fox is a handsome
soul and he should be
left to his devices
please remember and be
more caring towards him
