the sly fox



The sly fox laughs in his eyes
Nobody can take him away
In the chicken coop of hens
He rules supreme with his ways

The farmer tries to trap him
Many days and nights he stalks
He has no chance to catch the sly fox
By day he mixes around the folks

The farmer keeps counting his chicken
Every night one will disappear
He can't find a way to catch the thief
Nobody believes his tale

In time the farmer is tired
Hopeless in his quest to catch
The folks aren't trying to help him
They say he is making up stories

Finally he has no chicken
The empty coop he faces each day
When his neighbours start to complain
The similar story he uses to narrate

The farmer laughs
Knowing now they face the truth
There is a sly thief catching hens
It is time to group together and catch
