Poem about a fox.

The Fox 

by Count Flarinsteingottielhorne 

I know what I say doesn’t 

make much sense in the be- 

ginning . . . beginnings are 

usually confused, 

but I’m on to something; 

I’ve got the scent, 

like a young hound. 

I may look foolish at first, 

running around in circles, 

redundantly yapping at the 

dry rustles in the shadows 

and aimlessly back tracking 

and side tracking . . .   Laugh at 

me, if you must (for you know 

I’m new at this), but I have 

the scent -- and you don’t. 

I’ll get on the right trail 

soon, and that fox will be mine.
