The Fox and the Wolves
(Set to the tune of Rush’s song “The Trees”)
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble in the trees,
For the wolves spotted a red fox,
But the fox escaped on skis.
The trouble with the wolfpack
(And they quite insist they’re right)
Is that they think the fox too simple
He will fall beneath their might!
But the red fox is a skier
And for moguls he was made
He can ride the bumps forever
But the wolves just masquerade
So, the wolfpack lay an ambush
They had set a clever snare
They thought they’d net the red fox
But a huge brown bear was there!
So, the wolves, they had to cheese it.
They dispersed into the shade
And the red fox still skis swiftly
Bouncing blithely through the glade…
