Who Will Be the Winner

Fox, finches and fireflies fluttered out of the woods
Into a clearing that cleverly chose species of these three
Faeries, elves and gnomes watched as closely as they could 
It was time for the annual musical mystery forest jamboree

Who will be the winners? The badgers asked the rest.
Curious sailors and pirates came in from beyond the docks. 
Racoon and muskrat slicked their fur down to look their best. 
Whoever it is, they will have trouble winning the crown from Fox.

I think that would be true, Caren. You see, foxes are very, very sly.
