The
Fox – Martha Evans
Take
a deadly fire burning,
A
funeral pyre for prey,
Take
two embers of amber eye.
Use
Mother oak's old leaves,
A
cloak from Autumn's carpet,
Use
an auburn camouflage.
Add
a chimneysweep's brush,
A
twitching copper broom
Add
an ever-moving tail
Mix
in a sliver of silver,
A natural knife,
Mix
in four killers of claws.
Pour
in a silent gait,
A
muffled step,
Pour
in a suspicious walk.
With
all the elements,
Stir
it all in,
And
out comes the answer:
FOX
