What Does the Fox Say

Vulpine barhopper
bays pick up line to new moon
Mama-dum-day-do

Feline target wails
unsheathing sharp claws to show
Hatee-hatee- ho

Grizzly bouncer comes
rescues feline in distress
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

Thanks again. I wasn't sure what a Haiku burst entailed but later added these following "verses" His feline target her claws unsheathed meows Hatee-hatee- ho! Bovine barbouncer attends to testy issue budabud-dum-bam only to find one was sufficient
