The Hunt

Three sly foxes

Slinking towards their prey

Timid little mouse

Trembling in its way

---

Swish of the tails

Mischief in the eyes

They move in

Ready to surprise

---

Thinking they're so clever

Thinking they know what's right

How do they know

If they'll be safe tonight?

---

Sneaking closer to the prey

Sneaking up on the mouse

Unbidden by their fury

They ravage the mouse's house

---

Sullen is the mouse

As she sees her home

She'll get those evil foxes

They will leave her alone

---

Timid little mouse

On whom they laid the blame

Foxes lay dead

Mouse has won the game
