Night Time

The snow was falling on solid ground
 rabbit looked on bright eyed,
 fox didn't see her bobbing along 
 so tonight she will survive.
 Owl was hooting loud and clear
 waiting for his mouse,
 wondering where his supper was
 mouse was safe in his house.
 Farmers chicken were fast asleep
 Fox had wandered through
 looking through the chicken wire
 making  plans of what to do.
 The geese they heard, so made a gaggle
 the fox, the farmer spied
 he raised his gun and took his aim
 that night the fox he died.
 The snow was falling thick and fast,
 That night on solid ground
 all was quiet once again,
 now fox was not around.
