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
