A Poem About Marlfoxes

• To where will thy go,
• This is a secret nobeast may know.

• Plundering murdering vulpine theives,
• Who beld with stones,
• Or meld with leaves.

• See the pale eyes and swirling cloak,
• Appear like nightmare,
• Vanish like smoke.

• What steals upon the silent air,
• Gleaming fangs, mottled fur,
• A deadly axeblade lying there.

• Nobeast living can hide from thee,
• O thou who treds invisibly,
• Cross hill and vale, through woods and rocks.
• Marlfox! Marlfox! Marlfox!

A Funny Little Ant Ditty

• 'I once knew an ant and I knew him right well,
• This ant he lived in a hazelnut shell,
• He had relations to count by the score,
• They used to come knocking on his tiny door.
• One was called distANT, he lived far away,
• Another was pleasANT, he'd bid you good day,
• A third was constANT, he was never away,
• Then there was hesitANT, not sure he'd stay,
• And poor old reluctANT not sure too,
• And one called valiANT stout and true.
• Now I'll tell you the reason they all came to call,
• 'Cos this ant was the most importANT of all!'

And A Shrew's Poem About Manners

• 'If you eat too much you'll sink the boat,
• Burst your boots an' split yore coat,
• Just scoff enough so you stay afloat,
• 'Tis manners, good manners!
• If you pinch the food from another's plate,
• Wait till he's looking the other way mate,
• An' when the fish are bitin', don't eat the bait,
• 'Tis manners, good manners!
• If yore a shrew o' the Guosim clan,
• You must be sure to think of a plan,
• To share yore matey's pudden or flan,
• 'Tis manners, good manners!
• Remember to chew everythin' in sight,
• If it don't bite back then get first bite,
• An' always take a basinful to bed each night,
• Tis manners, good manners!
