• Fantasy Fox

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you hunting

    I saw you darting
    Catching your prey
    Your eyes gleam like diamonds
    On a cold, cold winters day

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you hunting

    I saw your fur
    It is as red as the reddest blush
    I saw your tail
    Brushing against the rosemary bush

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you hunting

    I heard you returning to your earth
    Giving your catch to your cubs
    You work full time a bit like a teacher
    Except there are no subs

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you hunting

    Fox, I saw you darting,
    Daring from bush to bush
    I saw you pouncing
    Killing your prey without any rush


    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I saw you hunting

    I heard you rustling
    Rustling through the winter leaves
    Trying to prepare dinner on Christmas Eve
    The eve of all eves

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you hunting

    Fox, I saw you running
    Running from the farmers
    They thought you might hurt them
    But you didn’t want to harm us

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you running

    The farmers are intent on killing you
    They have released the dogs
    They catch you and rip your flesh
    Your cries heard only by frogs

    In the deep, dark forest
    Fox, I heard you dying…
