Sly Fox of Chigger Hallow

In the foothills of the Ozarks Arkansas Those mountains a calling, come and play the game From prison came Joe to see his ailing pa Furloughed from prison won notorious fame Frances met him in their secret rendezvous Sweet blonde Frances Standridge, eyes of baby blue Her lover the sly fox of Chigger hollow Taught her teenage virtue a newfound shallow For and in Honor of Dr Rams Contest

Reads like an interesting moutain legend but maybe it's invented? I enjoyed your rispetto, john. And thanks so much for the win in your contest. I sure do love that dodoitsu. Gosh, maybe it will overtake haiku contests in popularity. We don't have to worry as much about all the crazy things involved with modern haiku by doing a dodoitsu contest! Luv, Andrea
