FOX-MANS REIGN OF TERROR
The heavens opened wide that night,
Thunder pounded the skies with might,
Lightening, God’s pyrotechnics were in play,
A great delight for the fox to have his way.
Power knocked out, no doubt this was a dread,
The local rag’s first page warned of the fox.
Three villagers last night found dead ,
A young couple mutilated along with well
Liked grocery owner, Mr. Brown.
All doors bolted, and shutters tied down.
The wily Fox lived in a nearby forest, said
To have been seen, a demon said old Fred,
Half fox half man, a fearful sight,
An ugly filthy creature, a murderer outright.
The men of the village planned to meet,
This demon who was full of hate,
Was surely soon to meet his fate.
This danger stranger, was a game changer,
In their village oh so small,
This meant he should be eliminated
Once and for all.
And thus a plan was formed, but another
Frenzied storm flew by,
With hail stones, golf ball size,
Which rained down from darkened skies.
The Fox-Man visited poor old Fred’s house,
His target was Fred's daughter.
Another Family died that night their children
Seven and five, surely went to heaven,
The fox, once again took advantage
Of the storm, and left his hole,
Four further human hearts he stole.
Snares were promptly set up around the
Village, this time the fox man, would not
Escape, was snared in broad daylight,
This brazen devil hearted man
Was taken to the local zoo.
He snarled, he snapped, he bit two
Staff members, he looked so evil.
Could he flee on a night,
That thunder pounded the sky with might,
A frightful dread still within the people’s sight.
A mourning villager, who had lost his daughter,
One night, when the heavens opened wide
Climbed over the zoo wall,
He decided it was his call,
Found and shot the demonic half man half fox.
He was hailed a hero, was old Fred,
That he had shot the Fox-Man dead,
The local news wrote of Fox Man’s demise
A murderer who was so despised.
