A FABLE
A Fox stole a march one day
in June,
On a cockerel perched on a
limb at high noon.
And accosted him in a soft,
irellow voice,
As to his health and l is flock,
v huh was very choice.
The inctinet of the cockerel, as
he sat on the limb.
Was indeed simple for the Fox,
and sauce for him.
But when the cockerel chuckled
with a senso of delight.
The Fox thought best to fly
1 is kite.
So through t!:e barnyard he
railed along.
And found in a huddle quite a
throng,
Cf the barnyard fowls holding
a Quest,
Of what to do with such an un
desirable guest.
A liantam roo ter spoke very
plain.
And said, he was a s ion of an
important .' train,
Ar.d any ?irau!t on his family
or kin.
Was an affront against ethics
and a mortal si::.
A riyn-out'i Rock rooster with
a deep ba.-s voice
Was heard by the owner, for
his flock was very choice.
And soon the dogs heard their
master fay,
"A Fox in the barnyard, take
him away."
The intrusion of the Fox led to
a hunt,
Ar.d was caught while trying
to play a great stunt,
To fool the young cockerels
and take them away
"Willi that soft mellow voice that
was sure to betray.
There are Foxes in the woods
clothed as men.
Who try to lure you into their
pernicious den,
They would take your coat and
demand your. ..vest.
And leave you wondering at
their behest.
