There once lived a fox in the forest of old
Who donned a magnificent crown of bone
With eyes of jade and fur to match the flames
The all-seeing-owl foretold of his reign
Dreamt of the future again and again
Foretelling his story, the end of all ends
And the trees overheard what he said
The animals panicked in all different ways
The deer they froze and the birds they sang
A chorus of warning, of doom soon to come
How the great forest king would be slain…
