Fall Foretold
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Fall Foretold]
Billy-bill,
My little kid
-inside all day, please stay!
Finzy-fin,
The grown old fox
-had been outside, all day!

Danny-dan,
My caring mum
-thanks for this, you say!
Finzy-fin,
-only came to play
-he had been lonely all day!

Billy-bill,
Fox and goat don’t play
-sworn enemy, are they!
Finzy-fin,
Sees us as prey
-he tries nothing but slay!

Danny-dan,
Stop this, you say
-it’s just a mere hear-say!
Finzy-fin,
Me and him would play
-that jinx shall break today!

Billy-bill,
Don’t go, don’t go
-deadly, they grip like clay!
Finzy-fin,
For your types he prays
-his tank, visit you’ll pay!

Danny-dan,
Don’t look that way
-enemies could be friends someday!
Finzy-fin,
I shall befriend this day
-even marry, I may!

Billy-bill,
I have warned you all day
-you chose to go astray!
Finzy-fin,
I told you is Fay
-just what goat is to hay!

Danny-dan
get out, my way
with him my hair shall grey.

And Billy-bill,
-Became bone that day
Cos Finzy-fin,
-had a treat that day!
