Fox

Each day I sleep 
I hide away
But when night falls
‘tis when I roam
Finding food for
my newly born brood
Four tiny cubs 
beneath the ground
Await my return
they make no sound
Living in a town
'tis safe to roam 
No fear of being shot 
Unlike my rural cousins
where this happens quite a lot
Folk leave me food
As they love to watch 
safe inside their homes
Whilst I return 
to my brood at home
who will grow 
and have families 
of their very own….
