Fox In a Box

This is the eclipse that has kept Africa Dark for long Has denied humans from being mobile Our pets from being lively It's just a day or two in the city We've busied ourselves visiting Tourist sites Observing children as they play with glee Shouting during recreational hours upon Their school courtyards People stand in long queues Waiting for their turn to be served At fast food kitchenettes We've enjoyed the cool breeze From the beaches Fisher folks can hardly mend their nets These days upon their boats and canoes They can't see clearly The sun does does not shine brightly by day The angry clouds would always Release rain No one has ever bothered yet to petition the Almighty To change the tide of the touchstone The fox we saw the other time still sleeps in the box! No, no! it stays all night In its cage.
