Reynard

 

Art by Robert Bateman.

This field was loaded

With fun, when bloodhound got

Out on the run.

A quick double-back.

And surely a whack

Was got from the

Branch overhung.

Fox’ bag was full

Of cute pranks

Some urine shot

High up a bush

Bespoke a beast

Larger, not shy.

And hound dog

Would tremble the thought

“This fox is much meaner

Than I.”

Much taller as well

What the hell…I’m

Flummoxed in

This idiot’s eye.

Good bye.
