On the trail of brother fox<\/address>\n
reading signs and comprehending<\/address>\n
for foxes in their wily way<\/address>\n
Are never \u00a0shy \u00a0For they are sending<\/address>\n
messages as to what they do<\/address>\n
For those \u00a0who care<\/address>\n
and take \u00a0 a view\u00a0<\/address>\n
night is \u00a0their time plain and simple<\/address>\n
early mornings share<\/address>\n
footprints food remains<\/address>\n
And scats a plenty \u00a0they are there<\/address>\n
Leaving \u00a0hair on vegetation<\/address>\n
and their wild scent Everywhere<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
four toes on both fore and hind foot<\/address>\n
with a heel bar nice and clear<\/address>\n
its a slight and narrow margin<\/address>\n
their constancy \u00a0expressing fear<\/address>\n
in their hind foot measured \u00a0well<\/address>\n
and generally in a straightish \u00a0 line<\/address>\n
the hind foot in the front foot print<\/address>\n
so a double print \u00a0is a certain sign<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
old rabbit holes become earths often<\/address>\n
foxes \u00a0dig \u00a0but their armoury<\/address>\n
is not as effective \u00a0as the Badger<\/address>\n
or \u00a0the mole and so we see<\/address>\n
rabbit holes enlarged to cater<\/address>\n
they put \u00a0their stamp \u00a0on the abode<\/address>\n
they need to make \u00a0a lot of gateways<\/address>\n
entrance and exit \u00a0it\u2019s their code<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
lots of fresh debris left outside<\/address>\n
foxes Cannot abide the \u00a0flies<\/span><\/address>\n
they \u00a0might\u00a0\u00a0have lots of blind tunnels<\/span><\/address>\n
but the fox you see is very wise\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
it\u2019s in their stride \u00a0their wily nature<\/address>\n
cunning some describe as sly<\/address>\n
clear that is a misnomer<\/address>\n
foxes yes they mystify<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
if it\u2019s vacant \u00a0that is clear<\/span><\/address>\n
if in use \u00a0flies could appear<\/address>\n
there are \u00a0signs many around<\/address>\n
the wild ones \u00a0leave them on the ground<\/address>\n
And \u00a0cub droppings they will be<\/address>\n
an indication \u00a0<\/address>\n
Obviously<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
wild souls need a water source<\/address>\n
and need to play<\/address>\n
They stay on course<\/address>\n
and so a padded path Will be\u00a0<\/address>\n
laid down outside there constantly<\/address>\n
all signs that brother fox<\/span><\/address>\n
is there<\/address>\n
watching too with time to spare<\/address>\n
is a most rewarding share<\/address>\n
a hiding place a comfy seat<\/span><\/address>\n
somewhere clearly be discreet<\/address>\n
\u00a0a binocular \u00a0And \u00a0a \u00a0camera \u00a0set<\/span><\/address>\n
ready to \u00a0put on \u00a0 the internet<\/address>\n
