The Urban Fox

In the shadows, in the dark Silhouetted near the park This is where we saw him sat Having a scratch, like a cat

Yes, to us, he seemed feline Rather than like a canine We stopped quite still and looked on Amazed that he hadn’t gone

Then towards us he did creep Tho’ his distance still did keep Darted around, like a game He wasn’t wild, but quite tame

For quite some time we stayed there At each other we did stare D’you think he wanted to say ‘Please come here and have a play’

Maybe he wanted a friend For, sadly, humans do tend To recommend, advise That these creatures we despise
