deception and kidology
these hunters artfulness
trail hunting and make believe
dupery no less
dressed to kill
the clobber
the tight pants and the whip
they advertise their goings on
and give the cops the slip
a bunch of hounds
yelping running here and there
throupgh people gardens church yards
no trail blazing despair
they are just illegal
and most often they
are getting away with murder
at the butt end of each day
a fable a concoction
all dressed to the nines
a tot of brandy in the hip
helps them read the signs
keeps them bold and angry
to take on sabs at will
more for their edification
and no doubt for the thrill
of catching a ginger being
seeing the hounds engage
all of the spitting fury
in a right old rage.
