Runaway by Judy DePauw |
|
| The gray fox | |
| Was not running | |
| In a straight line. His | |
| Front paws landed | |
| Left to right, left to right. | |
| If he's been a soldier, | |
| I'd have ventured | |
| The enemy had | |
| A bead on him | |
| He was running | |
| Where the corn was | |
| Just poking up, and blamed! | |
| If he didn't sprint right | |
| Towards the highway. | |
| I gripped the wheel tighter | |
| And slowed. --As he flew by, | |
| He drew me up into his wild run! | |
| That bushy tailed dog quit | |
| The chase, but the fox and I | |
| Are headlong for the woods! | |
