Underived and archetypal
\nIdiosyncratic they
\nImcomparable individuals
\nIn almost every way
\nElusive and nocturnal
\nHis footprints made to fool
\nA heel bar it is always there
\nThe hairy pads that call
\nOut to would be trackers
\nThe terrier men of old
\nCut into the soft marl
\nWhere the badgers once took hold<\/p>\n
Food debris on the outskirts
\nWell worn trails we see
\nAlways close to a water source
\nIts where we find foxy
\nNot always subterranean
\nA thick hedge maybe can
\nPerhaps a brambled drainage ditch
\nWhere an ancestor might have ran<\/p>\n
The gauntlet where the barking hounds
\nA foretaste of what might
\nBe a bloodlust holiday
\nOf snapping jaws that bite
\nDown on crimson brushes
\nWaving Everywhere
\nA gathering of the insane bunch
\nTheir noses in the air<\/p>\n
Tally ho you hear them blow
\nThe red coats chuntering they
\nAssembling together
\nSearching for the prey
\nThe hourglass full to reckoning
\nThe never ending run
\nLady luck the causualty
\nWhen the day is done<\/p>\n
He has a heart where valour
\nInsists on being seen
\nHis energy his work rate
\nHis potent heart machine
\nReady to take off of course
\nVirility and nerve
\nEvery sinew waiting
\nTo flash around the curve<\/p>\n
Clearly enterprising
\nMettlesome and spry
\nNothing done in moderation
\nWhich my friends is why
\nFoxy needs respecting
\nUp againt a wilful crew
\nWho ride at him on horses
\nWith their packs of hounds
\nOn true<\/p>\n
Often in close contact
\nTheir interface is clear
\nOut there in the matrix
\nAny time of year
\nSo much agitation
\nCurcuitous pursuit
\nMarathoning like crazy
\nAnd everywhere a brute<\/p>\n
Ready to discriminate
\nObtuse in every way
\nVery very tactless
\nMaking foxy pay
\nContrary to reason
\nArguing the toss
\nUnsound minds are everywhere
\nWe all are at a loss<\/p>\n
Delusional the nunting class
\nManic many, they
\nDrwss up in their fancy clobber
\nMaking others pay
\nMuddle headed nit wits
\nScrewballs yes as such
\nSociopaths and zealots
\nNot many like them much<\/p>\n
Foxy’s up against them
\nThe full force of the law
\nDespite the so hunting acts
\nThe facts
\nAre something more
\nTheres a lot of expectation
\nBut we come out second best
\nits puzzling in many ways
\nWhy the fox is called a pest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
